Transfer a gist to a GitHub repository

Transfer a gist to a GitHub repository

clone the gist

git clone https://gist.github.com/ishu3101/6fb35afd237e42ef25f9

rename the directory

mv 6fb35afd237e42ef25f9 ConvertTo-Markdown

change the working directory to the newly renamed directory

cd ConvertTo-Markdown

create a new repository on github
add the github repository as a remote to your checked out gist repository

git remote add github https://github.com/ishu3101/ConvertTo-Markdown

push to the new repository on github

git push github master

rename the remote of gist

git remote rename origin gist

Each time you make changes (or pull changes from github/gist), you can do
git push github master   # To github
git push gist master     # To gist

This will also push back your changes to the gist and not only the github repo.
