# Gist.vim

This is a vimscript for creating gists (http://gist.github.com).

For the latest version please see https://github.com/mattn/gist-vim.

## Usage:

- Post current buffer to gist, using default privacy option.

        :Gist

- Post selected text to gist, using default privacy option.
  This applies to all permutations listed below (except multi).

        :'<,'>Gist

- Create a private gist.

        :Gist -p

- Create a public gist.
  (Only relevant if you've set gists to be private by default.)

        :Gist -P

>  This is only relevant if you've set gists to be private by default;
> if you get an empty gist list, try ":Gist --abandon".

- Create a gist anonymously.

        :Gist -a

- Create a gist with all open buffers.

        :Gist -m

- Edit the gist (you need to have opened the gist buffer first).
  You can update the gist with the ":w" command within the gist buffer.

        :Gist -e

- Edit the gist with name 'foo.js' (you need to have opened the gist buffer
  first).

        :Gist -e foo.js

- Post/Edit with the description " (you need to have opened the gist buffer
  first). >

        :Gist -s something
        :Gist -e -s something

- Delete the gist (you need to have opened the gist buffer first).
  Password authentication is needed.

        :Gist -d

- Fork the gist (you need to have opened the gist buffer first).
  Password authentication is needed.

        :Gist -f

- Star the gist (you need to have opened the gist buffer first).
  Password authentication is needed.

        :Gist +1

- Unstar the gist (you need to have opened the gist buffer first).
  Password authentication is needed.

        :Gist -1

- Get gist XXXXX.

        :Gist XXXXX

- Get gist XXXXX and add to clipboard.

        :Gist -c XXXXX

- List your public gists.

        :Gist -l

- List gists from user "mattn".

        :Gist -l mattn

- List everyone's gists.

        :Gist -la

- List gists from your starred gists.

        :Gist -ls

- Open the gist on browser after you post or update it.

        :Gist -b

## List Feature

- Useful mappings on the gist-listing buffer:
    - Both `o` or `Enter` open the gist file in a new buffer, and close the
      gist-vim listing one.
    - `b` opens the gist file in a browser; this is necessary because
      `Shift-Enter` (as was originally) only works for GUI vim.
    - `y` copies the contents of the selected gist to the clipboard, and
      closes the gist-vim buffer.
    - `p` pastes the contents of the selected gist to the buffer from where
      gist-vim was called, and closes the gist-vim buffer.
    - Hitting `Escape` or `Tab` at the gist-vim buffer closes it.

- Gist listing has fixed-length columns now, more amenable to eye inspection.
  Every line on the gist-listing buffer contains the gist id, name and
  description, in that order. Columns are now padded and truncated to offer a
  faster browsing, in the following way:
  - The gist id string is fixed at 32 characters.
  - The length (in characters) of the name of the gist is fixed and
    can be set by the user using, for example:

    `let g:gistvim_namelength = 20`

    The default value for `gistvim_namelength` is 30. If the gist (file)name
    exceeds that length, it is truncated to the specified length.
  - Finally, the gist description is truncated in length to fit the remaining
    of the line, avoiding wrapped lines that mess up the table layout.
  - Note that the gist listing buffer now does not show the field 'code'
    (not sure what that did in the first place).

## Tips:

If you set g:gist_clip_command, gist.vim will copy the gist code with option
'-c'.

- Mac:

        let g:gist_clip_command = 'pbcopy'

- Linux:

        let g:gist_clip_command = 'xclip -selection clipboard'

- Others (cygwin?):

        let g:gist_clip_command = 'putclip'

If you want to detect filetype from the filename:

    let g:gist_detect_filetype = 1

If you want to open browser after the post:

    let g:gist_open_browser_after_post = 1

If you want to change the browser:

    let g:gist_browser_command = 'w3m %URL%'

or:

    let g:gist_browser_command = 'opera %URL% &'

On windows, this should work with your user settings.

If you want to show your private gists with ":Gist -l":

    let g:gist_show_privates = 1

If you want your gist to be private by default:

    let g:gist_post_private = 1

If you want your gist to be anonymous by default:

    let g:gist_post_anonymous = 1

If you want to manipulate multiple files in a gist:

    let g:gist_get_multiplefile = 1

If you want to use on GitHub Enterprise:

    let g:gist_api_url = 'http://your-github-enterprise-domain/api/v3'

You need to either set global git config:

	$ git config --global github.user Username

## Install:

Copy it to your plugin directory.
gist.vim will create a curl cookie-jar file in your runtimepath.

- rtp:
  - autoload/gist.vim
  - plugin/gist.vim

If you want to uninstall gist.vim, remember to also remove `~/.gist-vim`.

You need to install webapi-vim also:

  http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=4019

If you want to use latest one:

  https://github.com/mattn/webapi-vim

### Install with [Vundle](https://github.com/gmarik/vundle)

Add the following lines to your `.vimrc`.

    Bundle 'mattn/webapi-vim'
    Bundle 'mattn/gist-vim'

Now restart Vim and run `:BundleInstall`.

### Install with [NeoBundle](https://github.com/Shougo/neobundle.vim)

Add the following line to your `.vimrc`.

    NeoBundle 'mattn/gist-vim', {'depends': 'mattn/webapi-vim'}

## Requirements:

- curl command (http://curl.haxx.se/)
- webapi-vim (https://github.com/mattn/webapi-vim)
- and if you want to use your git profile, the git command-line client.

## Setup:

This plugin supports both basic and two-factor authentication using GitHub
API v3. The plugin stores its credentials in `~/.gist-vim`.

First, you need to set your GitHub username in git's global configuration:

    $ git config --global github.user <username>

Then gist-vim will ask for your password in order to create an access
token. If you have two-factor authentication enabled, gist-vim will also
prompt you to enter the two-factor key you receive.

NOTE:
If you want you can set it directly to `g:github_user` and `g:gist_token`.

Whichever type of authentication you use, your GitHub password will not be
stored, only a OAuth access token produced specifically for gist-vim. The
token is stored in `~/.gist-vim`. If you stop using the plugin, you can
easily remove this file. To revoke the associated  GitHub token, go to the
list of ["Authorized applications" on GitHub's "Account Settings"
page][uas].

[uas]: https://github.com/settings/applications

**Note:** the username is optional if you only send anonymous gists.
