How to add an image to a gist

Create a gist if you haven't already.

Clone your gist:

# make sure to replace `<hash>` with your gist's hash
git clone https://gist.github.com/<hash>.git # with https
git clone [email protected]:<hash>.git     # or with ssh

Add your image to your gist's repository:
```
git add your-image.jpg
```
Commit the image:
```
git commit -m "Add image"
```
Update gist:
```
git push origin master
```

I just came here to mention that this no longer works.

You can clone the gist, add the image, push the image back to the gist, but then it overwrites the gist with just the image, and pushes the .md file as an unpreviewable attachment, which can only be viewed in 'Raw' mode.
