@santisbon, thanks

Thanks!

Do you know if it is possible to search the gists that you have starred?

Searching for this myself. I don't know what use it is to "Star" something if we can't go back and find the thing we starred. I thought that was the whole point...

Update: Found it:

https://gist.github.com/YOUR_USER_NAME/starred

Ex: https://gist.github.com/coolaj86/starred

Why don't they make it easier to search your own gists?

Thank you!

Thank you.

Great summary. However, since this seems to be the top search result for "github gist search syntax", here is a correction/update.

As far as I can tell, pushed:>YYYY-MM-DD is not a valid search parameter. Perhaps it was at one point in time.

BROKEN:

pushed:>YYYY-MM-DD

WORKING:

updated:>YYYY-MM-DD
created:>YYYY-MM-DD

Examples searches

workshop pushed:>2019-12-01
workshop updated:>2019-12-01
workshop created:>2019-12-01

Screenshot evidence

(the 3 results using updated are for this gist and 2 similar)
