01:21 <schacon> well like, lets say you use Emacs, and someone | |
posts an extension on gists, like this: http://gist.github.com/290 | |
01:22 <schacon> you use it and think it's cool, but add some | |
features, so you can fork it, make your change and even email | |
the original author, who can add you as a remote and merge your | |
change in, or several peoples changes and push back | |
01:23 <schacon> you have a list of all the gists you've ever made, | |
and can always go back and edit or update them: http://gist.github.com/mine | |
01:24 <schacon> if you have a multi-file project, like a little | |
sinatra app that maybe doesn't warrant it's own github project, | |
you can create a new gist, clone it, copy the few files over and | |
push it back | |
01:24 <sr> so, it'd be like for snippet of code that don't deserve | |
a "normal" repository but still gain to have all the social stuff | |
github offers? | |
01:24 <schacon> then when people clone it, they get each file | |
individually, rather than having to use something like pastie-packer | |
or something | |
01:24 <schacon> yup, that's the idea | |
01:25 <sr> okay, I think I've got it now. thanks :) | |
01:25 <schacon> so like I have this little shell script I found to | |
create empty branches : http://gist.github.com/256 | |
01:26 <schacon> if I find a better way to do that, I can edit it, but | |
why would I create a new github project for that? | |
01:26 <sr> yeah, make sense | |
01:26 <schacon> and I'll never lose it, it will always be in the 'My Gists' link |
