Enter this in the search box along with your search terms:

user:santisbon

Find all gists with a .yml extension.
extension:yml

Find gists with greater than 100 stars.
stars:>100

Include anonymous gists in your search.
anon:true

fork:only

Find gists containing a file larger than 1000kbs.

Find all gists with the word "fetch" by santisbon updated or created recently.

Searching for repos

Thanks!

Do you know if it is possible to search the gists that you have starred?

Searching for this myself. I don't know what use it is to "Star" something if we can't go back and find the thing we starred. I thought that was the whole point...

Update: Found it:

https://gist.github.com/YOUR_USER_NAME/starred

Ex: https://gist.github.com/coolaj86/starred

Why don't they make it easier to search your own gists?

Thank you!

Thank you.

just noting this here in case i forget it:

you can also specify a specific time and offset as well:

created:>2024-05-10T01:23:02+00:00

Want to add a few helpful bits:

• Link to Github's list of search qualifiers: https://docs.github.com/en/search-github/searching-on-github/searching-gists
• Search for your own gists: user:@me
• Example for how to use one of these qualifiers:
  • After the qualifier: user:@me your query
  • Before the qualifier: your query user:@me

I have not found a way to get multiple qualifiers to work, hopefully you won't need that.
