My forked gists and a brand new gist, nbviewer, and bl.ocks workflow

readme.md

Testing a workflow

1. Initialize the idea as a Gist readme
2. Clone the repository locally with just the readme
3. Create a new notebook in the repository
4. Use notebook to create visualizations
5. Create index.html to host on blocks through the notebook
6. Use GitPython API to commit changes.
