Example of how to embed a Gist on GitHub Pages using Jekyll.

gist.md

Here's an example of how to embed a Gist on GitHub Pages:

{% gist 5555251 %}

All you need to do is copy and paste the Gist's ID from the URL (here 5555251), and add it to a gist tag surrounded by {% and %}.

result.md

And here's what it would look like rendered:

The rendered output looks odd for the gist link

I wonder if being meta makes this harder to understand.

gistception

Wow, this addition looks useful.

Is there a way to embed a single file? Yes there is!

{% gist 5555251 gist.md %}

Nice tip. forked.

Cool, thanks!

No solution, till end, what is cool, i don't understand.
Just contacted Github, and put this as a feature request.
Hope, that anybody sees this, will also do the same.

very useful, thanks. 👯

is this feature still working guys? i couldn't get it to work!!

Yes, it works and it's pretty!

What about for non-gists?

I've tried and it doesn't work. I just paste gist embed code on page and it work

It works by installing https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-gist

But I prefer to use:

<script src="https://gist.github.com/benbalter/5555251.js"></script>
<script src="https://gist.github.com/benbalter/5555251.js?file=gist.md"></script>

I tried to embed <script src="https://gist.github.com/benbalter/5555251.js"></script> and other examples in an .md file, however it doesnt work :(
