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

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
