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).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
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.

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

@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!
