Secret gists

  • Secret gists don't show up in Discover and are not searchable.

  • Use them to jot down an idea that came to you in a dream, create a to-do list, or prepare some code or prose that's not ready to be shared with the world.

  • After creating a gist, you cannot convert it from public to secret.

  • Secret gists aren't private

  • If you send the URL of a secret gist to a friend, they'll be able to see it.

  • However, if someone you don't know discovers the URL, they'll also be able to see your gist.

  • » If you need to keep your code away from prying eyes, you may want to create a private repository instead.
