Gist is a simple way to share snippets and pastes with others. All gists are git repositories, so they are automatically versioned, forkable and usable as a git repository.
The GitHub Gist extension provides you with a pop-up window, where you can easily create a private or public gist and share it with other developers.
The GitHub Gist extension also provides you with a search field , so that you can quickly find what you need.
