How to add an image to a gist

How to add an image to a gist

  1. Create a gist if you haven't already.

  2. Clone your gist:

    # make sure to replace `<hash>` with your gist's hash
    git clone https://gist.github.com/<hash>.git # with https
    git clone git@gist.github.com:<hash>.git     # or with ssh
  3. Add your image to your gist's repository:

    git add your-image.jpg
  4. Commit the image:

    git commit -m "Add image"
  5. Update gist:

    git push origin master

Just push in master branch

There is no master branch. It is named main in this case.

@steinarb You have to use only git push without the origin master

I kept having weird auth issues with https. When it would try to auth me with Github in the browser, I would just get a 404.

I switched to ssh (fyi you must create an ssh key and add the public key to Github settings), remembering to change the repo remote, e.g.

git remote set-url --push origin git@github.com:<some_gist_hash>.git

This worked, and I was able to commit and push images to the gist repo.

If you get an error saying:

error: src refspec master does not match any
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://gist.github.com/<hash>.git'

Since your repository has a branch named "main", you should push your changes to that branch instead of "master". To push to the "main" branch, use the following command:

git push origin main

This command will push the changes in your local "main" branch to the remote repository.

^ Agreed, change from git push origin master to git push origin main.

The command with ssh is:

git clone git@github.com:HASH.git
