Xgist

Xgist is a Xcode extension to send code to GitHub's Gist. The extension will send your code selection to Gist and automatically copy the Gist URL into your Clipboard.

Be aware that it will replace your current clipboard with the Gist URL!

Authentication (Optional)

By default Xgist will post your gists as anonymous, but once you open the .app you'll see a login form where you can login to your GitHub account and post authenticated gists.

After you login you'll need to restart Xcode so it will give you the authenticated gist option

Note that Xcode might ask to use your keychain since that's how your GitHub access token is stored.
