Testing linking to a Gist SVG from GitHub comments:

Thanks, this was helpful for me doing the same with graphviz output https://gist.github.com/AlanCoding/bca128a1b391e28819f4020eb9b6536e

@AlanCoding I'm not sure how you found this isolated gist, but I'm glad it was useful for you! (Even if it wasn't for me, since what I was trying to do was figure out how to include SVGs in issue comments!) But yes, at least gists are a great way to display a collection of short code files including SVG.

This gist is the first google result for "github gist svg". Also, hi Alan!
