    Gist is a nice little feature the guys and gals at github have made to make your life a lot easier.
    It is more or less like a regular old text editor, except it's on the internet. Now go to gist.github.com and
    log in.
    Gist is really usefull for sharing short snippets of code with your fellow programmers. You just copy-paste
    your code into the big white box, give it a snazzy title and/or description and then either save it as a public
    (so everybody can see your magnificient coding skills) or as a secret gist (so nobody can read your awful, awful
    poetry). With the 'text' button you can select the language your code is written in, but gist also selects it auto
    matically if you add your file type after your title, like this: "snazzy_title.html".
    You can also add larger snippets and a whole bunch of files with the "Add file" button (obviously).
    The ACE thing you see in the right corner has nothing to do with non traditional sexuality and is simply a code
    editor for on the web. It highlights your synthax, which is nice.
