[-] option to sync if there are changes either locally or remotely
ok, one side sync is possible out of box for repos (not for gists) see https://cli.github.com/manual/gh_repo_sync so a halfway possible +for local to remote it is more complicated solution. will try for new version.
[ ] add new gists if added remotely.
it would take a lot of time to create snapshot and compare it to remotes. so complicated solution this way. its time is equal as to delete old and redownload
[ ] create alias to name of gist in same directory.
Good option for clone single gist or repo but how to know the names for batch? possible option is to take gist desc not often available or create by timedata stamp?
[ ] option to delete local gist if deleted remotely. the same task as add new gists if added remotely

to operate write/delete for remote repo user nedeed to have both tokens for git and gist, without these only public repos/gists are avail
check it:
