Requirements

One of the following is required for communicating with Gist API.

Vim compiled with +python (Recommended)
cURL
wget

To enable fast feching in :Gista-list, you need a Vim compiled with +python or +python3. Note that Vim compiled with +python3 without cURL or wget is not supported for now. The recommended environment is a Vim compiled with +python or a Vim compiled with +python3 with cURL or wget.

Install

Use dein.vim or vim-plug as:

" vim-plug
Plug 'lambdalisue/vim-gista'

" dein.vim
call dein#add('lambdalisue/vim-gista')

" dein.vim (Lazy)
call dein#add('lambdalisue/vim-gista', {
    \ 'on_cmd': 'Gista'
    \})

Or install the repository into your runtimepath manually.

Usage

First of all, specify your GitHub username into g:gista#client#default_username or use $ git config github.user {USERNAME} to record it into your .gitconfig file then vim-gista automatically resolve your github username from your .gitconfig file. vim-gista support an anonymous access but authorization is strongly recommended due to the GitHub API rate-limit.

After that, execute :Gista list. It will request all your gists and show gista-list window which looks like:

  ┌ API name
  │       ┌ Lookup
  │       │                  ┌ The current mode
