Managing Gists Locally

by Danny Quah, May 2020

Through the Embed instruction or plugin, Gist snippets on GitHub can conveniently provide posts on Medium, WordPress, and elsewhere supplementary information (lines of code, images, Markdown-created tables, and so on). But while Gist snippets on GitHub can be managed directly via browser or through something like [Gisto][], a user might also wish to manipulate them offline. This last is for many of the same reasons that a user seeks to clone a git repo to their local filesystem, modify it locally, and then only subsequently push changes back up to GitHub.

Here's how to do this:

Create the gist on GitHub and then clone it to your local filesystem:

Portable Node.js and NPM on windows
  1. Get node binary (node.exe) from http://nodejs.org/download/
  2. Create the folder where node will reside and move node.exe to it
  3. Download the last zip version of npm from http://nodejs.org/dist/npm
  4. Unpack the zip inside the node folder
  5. Download the last tgz version of npm from http://nodejs.org/dist/npm
  6. Open the tgz file and unpack only the file bin/npm (without extension) directly on the node folder.
  7. Add the the node folder and the packages/bin folder to PATH
  8. On a command prompt execute npm install -g npm to update npm to the latest version

Now you can use npm and node from windows cmd or from bash shell like Git Bash of msysgit.
