^DThere are two ways to set GitHub user and password info:
Using env vars GITHUB_USER and GITHUB_PASSWORD:
$ export GITHUB_USER="your-github-username"
$ export GITHUB_PASSWORD="your-github-password"
$ gist ~/exampleOr by having your git config set up with your GitHub username and password.
git config --global github.user "your-github-username"
git config --global github.password "your-github-password"You can also define github.password to be a command which returns the
actual password on stdout by setting the variable to a command string
prefixed with !. For example, the following command fetches the
password from an item named "github.password" on the Mac OS
Keychain:
password = !security find-generic-password -gs github.password -w | tr -d '\n'You can set a few options in your git config (using git-config(1)) to control the default behavior of gist(1).
-
gist.private - boolean (yes or no) - Determines whether to make a gist private by default
-
gist.extension - string - Default extension for gists you create.
-
gist.browse - boolean (yes or no) - Whether to open the gist in your browser after creation. Default: yes
