make-gist

This is a small CLI tool that generates a Github gist by collecting files from a particular directory and making a request to the Github API. Only creates secret gists.

Which files are included? This will include any file present in the directory specificed. It does not include any directories or subdirectories, and ignores specific files. Here is a list of ignored files:

package-lock.json
yarn.lock
.DS_Store

Authorization

# point to directory and name the gist
make-gist path/to/project --description "my neat project"
