CREDIT:
Heavily based on Paul William's plugin:
http://www.entropytheblog.com/blog/
http://www.entropytheblog.com/blog/2008/12/wordpress-github-gist-shortcode-plugin/
Main difference is that this version doesn't do a JS, <script>, embed... the code from your gist is
actually in the HTML source.
INSTALL:
Toss the gistson.php file into your blogs wp-content/plugins folder. Login to WP and enable the plugin.
USE:
Put this <LINK> tag in <HEAD> of header.php
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://gist.github.com/stylesheets/gist/embed.css"/>
When you wanna embed a gist just type in:
[gist id="gist-id-from-gist.github.com-here"]
example:
[gist id="250709"]
You can exclude the attribution by doing this:
[gist id="250709" nometa="true"]
This is useful for when you have multiple gists. But for big chunks of code etc
I'd encourge you to keep the attribution cuz those guys have a business to run

function gist_shortcode_func($atts, $content = null) {
$url = 'http://gist.github.com/' . trim($atts['id']) . '.json';
$json = file_get_contents($url);
$assoc = json_decode($json, true);
if (isset($atts['nometa'])) {
// you'll end up with 2 1px borders at the bottom =(
$assoc['div'] = preg_replace('/<div class="gist\-meta">.*?(<\/div>)/is', '', $assoc['div']);
}
return $assoc['div'];
}
add_shortcode('gist', 'gist_shortcode_func');
