gist

Is there a way to control the order in which files appear in a gist? They don't seem to be alphabetical or chronological. I'd like to have a README.md appear as the first file in a multi-file gist , but no amount of "deleting" a file and re-adding it seems to change anything. Is there an order to these files that I'm not seeing, or does GitHub maintain an internal filetype priority list? VonC Since at least 2018, the order is alphabetical, with periods and numbers coming before letters. Around 2013-2014 a different order was used. They are ordered automatically by name, following the ASCII

Can I make a pull request on some else's gist on GitHub? I'm aware of the fork, clone and commit workflow for a gist I own. I'd like to know if I can request to update someone else's gist with my fork. You cannot currently open a pull request on a Gist. You can comment though on the Gist and ask the author to update the Gist from your fork. studgeek As @Kevin said, unfortunately GitHub doesn't expose a GUI for pull requests on gists. You can however fork the gist, make your changes in the fork, then share a link to your fork with the original author. If the original author is keeping a local

The new GitHub Gist interface has one embed snippet for the entire gist which embeds all files in the gist. The old interface had embed code for each file in the gist. Anyone know if there's a trick to embed a single file? Take the gist URL from the left-hand side and after the .js add a query string like ?file=myFile.blah , e.g. <script src="https://gist.github.com/4505639.js?file=macroBuild.scala" type="text/javascript"></script> Just for other people reference that might be looking into this. If you are using Wordpress you may achieve this with the plugin oEmbed-gist and shortcode style:

I love GitHub and their gist service, and that's why I'm keeping a lot of code snippets and even development notes as a gist on my GitHub account. It also makes it easy to share them with my colleagues. The problem is that it doesn't scale!! The GitHub features for gist are primitive, and I have lots of gists there which make it really difficult to find some of my old gists. There's no search, no tagging, or anything. Do you know any application that can handle this mess? I would like an application that could Search my gists List my gists by source type and date Let me edit or copy them Let

I have created a data visualization app and posted it as a Github page . I would now like to display this on the bl.ocks.org site that aggregates D3.js visualizations. How can I start from the github repo and create a gist that maintains the relative dependencies of the repo code? Will I need to refactor all the code to make a single-file app that points to only CDN sources? It's easiest to learn by example. Take the example on the bl.ocks home page: http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/1353700 Now to see the gist that generated it, just take the id number from the end of the url and appent it the gist
