Appearance as in Github Gist

Yes, there is a Visual Studio Code theme that closely matches the GitHub Gist style. You can install the GitHub VS Code Theme created by GitHub (primer/github-vscode-theme). This theme is designed to replicate the appearance of GitHub's code rendering styles and includes variants that are used on GitHub.com, including for Gists[1][2].

To make VS Code look and feel even more like GitHub Gist, pay attention to:

  • Font choice: Check what font GitHub Gist uses (commonly it’s a monospace font like SFMono-Regular, Consolas, or Menlo). You can set your preferred font in VS Code using the editor.fontFamily setting.
  • Font size and line height: Adjust VS Code’s editor.fontSize and editor.lineHeight settings. Users who've wanted VS Code to match other editors' compactness recommend values like 13 for editor.fontSize and something like 17-19 for editor.lineHeight, but you can experiment to match the look you see in Gist[3][4].

Steps to achieve a GitHub Gist look in VS Code

  1. Install the GitHub VS Code Theme:

    • Open Extensions (Ctrl+Shift+X), search for "GitHub Theme", and install it.
    • Activate it from the Command Palette (Ctrl+K Ctrl+T).
  2. Match font and spacing settings:

    • Open Settings and set:
      • editor.fontFamily to ui-monospace, SFMono-Regular, Menlo, Monaco, "Liberation Mono", "Courier New", monospace (mirrors GitHub's CSS font stacks).
      • editor.fontSize to around 13.
      • editor.lineHeight to 17 or 18.
  3. Fine-tune until the text, size, and spacing match your Gist preferences.

This will make your VS Code editor very similar to the default look and feel of a GitHub Gist, including theme colors, fonts, and spacing[1][3][4].
