Harpia is a gist desktop client for OS X: https://github.com/DMarby/Harpia

Go: https://github.com/icholy/gist

Is there a desktop client for windows?

@Aenian For Windows you can create the gist with the npm command line client npm install -g mkg which can be setup as a batch process if desired but I would strongly recommend using https://desktop.github.com/ as the desktop client for everything but creation of the Gist, for that use the npm package command line client:

npm install -g mkg

I released CodeDrop for OS X for quickly creating gists.

Cross-platform Gist client:

https://github.com/hackjutsu/Lepton

A Java Gist wrapper:

https://github.com/StefanoBelli/JaGist

I really think that this gist deserves a good read from the author and add some of them back to gist content. (ie Lepton is not in list yet and totally deserves to be)

• CodeExpander - A smart GitHub gist client with the TextExpander features.

Check this code snippets manager: https://snipper.app, it supports GitHub Gists.

Unlike the many other Python options here, this one works as of 2020-04: https://github.com/jdowner/gist
Just install add a ~/.gist config file with your github token as described there.

Gist as a Service is now 404. Looked at @andymatuschak repos to see if was renamed, but it looks like it not archived and is now gone.
