PSGist

A PowerShell module to interact with GitHub Gists.

This is a PowerShell module that uses the GitHub API to interact and manipulate Gist.

PS GitHub:\> Get-Command -Module PSGist | Sort-Object -Property Name | Select-Object -Property Name

Name
----
Add-GistComment
Add-GistFile
Copy-Gist
Find-Gist
Fork-Gist
Get-Gist
Get-GistComment
Get-GistCommit
Get-GistFork
Get-GistVersion
New-Gist
New-GistOAuthToken
Remove-Gist
Remove-GistComment
Remove-GistFile
Rename-GistFile
Save-Gist
Set-Gist
Update-GistComment
Update-GistFile

In order to use this module, you will need to create a new GitHub API OAuth Token. To do this, use the New-GistOAuthToken cmdlet.

New-GistOAuthToken -Credental <PSCredential>

This will generate a new token with access only to Gists to be used by this module. Once you have authenticated, go ahead and start playing with Gist Objects!

###Update### Most functions have been updated to include the -IseScriptPane Dynamic Parameter, this will allow you to add and update file(s) in Gist objects using the content directly from the ISE.

Example 1: Get a specific Gist.

PS GitHub:\> Get-Gist | Select-Object -First 1

Example 3:

# Create a new Gist from an existing file.
New-Gist -Path .\HelloWorld.ps1 -Description 'Hello World Gist.'

Example 4:

# Create a new Gist using the content from the current active ISE Script Tab.
New-Gist -IseScriptPane -Public

Example 5:

# Get the first revision of a Gist.
Get-Gist | Select -First 1 | Get-GistCommit | Select -Last 1 | Get-GistVersion

Added a new cmdlet to search for Gists:

dotps1@mypowerrig GitHub:\PSGist [master ≡] $ Find-Gist -FileNameKeyword Java

This project is derived from my work with Trevor Sullivan and PSGitHub. But the more I worked on it, I felt it should be its own module. Maybe nested in PSGitHub when that is completed...
