That's the gist of it

Since be 0.3.0, you can now use gists for presets and register them with be-presets to have them appear in the online database of presets.

This is great for configurations that you wish to remain small and that may not need all of the flexibility that a full GitHub repository offers, such as pull-request, wiki and issue tracking. Gists also have support for comments, which is something unique. This means you can share a project configuration, and start a conversation about it, in context to the physical files that make up that configuration.

But perhaps the greatest thing about gists is the ability to glance over multiple files at once. Each file is laid out next to each other, alphabetically, top-to-bottom. Since be presets are so small, you can typically fit an entire configuration on a page without scrolling. Win!

As an example, this blog post is a fully featured project configuration. Glance over the files below, or give it a try right now on your own! Gists can either be registered with be-presets, or referenced directly via the two identifying components at the top of your browser window - username/id.

$ be new mottosso/9b25f547d5364f050494 --name website
$ be in website home body --enter
$ sublime

Enjoy!
