Gist cli helper

First, install the gist command using brew install gist, then add this to your .zshrc (or whatever).

By default this will:

• create all gists as secret (-p)
• copy the gist url to the clipboard (-c)
• open the browser to the gist (-o)

There are three modes for this CLI tool:

1. gist filename.json will create a new gist from the filename.json with the name filename.json (basically the default usage of the normal gist command)
2. cat filename.json | gist will create a new gist from STDIN
3. gist will paste whatever's on the clipboard and create a new gist called paste.txt

gist.function.bash

function gist() {
  local url=""
  if [ -t 0 ]; then
    if ((! $# )); then
      command gist -Pcop -f paste.txt
    else
      command gist -cop $@
    fi
  else
    command gist -cop $@ < /dev/stdin
  fi
}

so useful, thanks! 👍
