Gist Clients

Want to create a Gist from your editor, the command line, or the Services menu? Here's how.

Editor Support

This is an example command for Backtick. A Backtick command consists of some executable JavaScript and a bit of metadata in JSON.

Here are the required steps to create a command:

Create a new Gist with a command.js and command.json file, or simply fork this one.
Write your JavaScript in command.js. This will be injected into and executed on the page the user is currently on when they run it.
Add some metadata to the command.json file:

name: The name of the command.

Browser histories

Unless you are using Safari on OSX, most browsers will have some kind of free plugin that you can use to export the browser's history. So that's probably the easiest way. The harder way, which seems to be what Safari wants is a bit more hacky but it will also work for other browsers. Turns out that most of them, including Safari, have their history saved in some kind of sqlite database file somewhere in your home directory.

The OSX Finder cheats a little bit and doesn't show us all the files that actually exist on our drive. It tries to protect us from ourselves by hiding some system and application-specific files. You can work around this by either using the terminal (my preferred method) or by using the Cmd+Shft+G in Finder.

Once you locate the file containing the browser's history, copy it to make a backup just in case we screw up.

	AppleScript is a rather peculiar scripting language to learn.
