How to add an image to a gist

1. Create or find a gist that you own.

2. Clone your gist (replace <hash> with your gist's hash):

   # with ssh
   git clone git@gist.github.com:<hash>.git mygist
   
   # with https
   git clone https://gist.github.com/<hash>.git mygist

3. Change to your gist’s directory:

   cd mygist

4. Add and commit the image:

   git add tulip.jpg
   git commit -m "Add tulip to gist"

5. Update remote:

   git push origin master

See blog post.

Thanks a lot! 😄

Thank you 👍

Thanks! 👍

Thanks! 👍

Thanks #

How did you add the image? Because after the cloning, I manually added the image to the repo folder created after the clone. When I try to add the image I would get an error saying fatal: pathspec 'CustomCheckbox.JPG' did not match any files Am new to this. Thank you

It reorders the images in my case. But thanks anyway.

Thanks!
@ugumerie: Before adding the image to your repo, drag and drop the picture into the folder you cloned.

Hi can some one advise how I clone the following gist repo. https://gist.github.com/angusgrant/8599b573d600539f192d9c5709bc1e6e.
I try this git clone git@gist.github.com:8599b573d600539f192d9c5709bc1e6e.git mygist but I get error message:
git@gist.github.com: Permission denied (publickey).

Please advise I'm new to github/gist. thanks.

@angusgrant Github's SSH setup docs are at https://help.github.com/articles/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/ - once you have SSH set up, gist and github should both work the same.

Thanks :)

FWIW, for me, github was always working fine, but I had a similar error message when I did my first push. Because I have TFA with my login, I had to use my username and token (not password). Once I did that one time, my ssh key was correctly used subsequent times.

I found another way without the need of a Git client:

• Save your gist
• Add your image to a draft comment
• Copy the resulting markdown
• Edit your gist and add a markdown file
• Paste the image as markdown inside

i have a question instead of picture can i add .zip file which is less than 5-10MB?

@vaimalaviya1233 You should try it on a gist of your own and find out! If that doesn't work, you can download a gist as a zip file - so you might use that to share a set of files, with some limitations (eg if you don't need a directory structure in the zip). Good luck!
