=== Leo editor script to publish from a node to Gist === At present everything is done anonymously, so there's no way to delete an old push, or make the next a push a revision to a previous one. In other words it's trivial to create **many** duplicates. So I wouldn't actually use this yet; it's just proof of concept (and wickedly easy!).
