How to

Create or edit a gist

In your gist description, add a keyword like : #jquery

Launch the script

Launch the script without arguments to see the usage. The script will use the keyword to fill the abbreviation field in Dash and fill the snippet with the gist content

Example

You could run :

chmod +x gists_to_dash.rb
./gists_to_dash.rb voising Dropbox/Configs/snippets.dash "$" no_comments

More about the char_appended_to_keyword argument

When you write your snippets you may use a key at the end of the abbreviation. That's what this argument stands for.

If the keyword is #calljquery and the char_appended_to_keyword is "$", the snippet abbreviation will be : calljquery$

The downloader works but it stops after 30 gists or so..
Also, if the resulting DB fails to load using Dash.

Really good idea.

is this still the best way you've found to do this?
