Gistit is a bashscript for instantly uploading selected text to github and placing the url to that gist in your clipboard. It relies on curl, xclip, python, sed, grep and notify-send. Use f.i. xbindkeys-config to add a keybinding to the script and you've got instant sharing. The script takes one parameter which is a OAuth token for github.
