Init Gists via Git

Opengist allows you to create new snippets via Git over HTTP.

Simply init a new Git repository where your file(s) is/are located:

shell
git init
git add .
git commit -m "My cool snippet"

Then add this Opengist special remote URL and push your changes:

shell
git remote add origin http://localhost:6157/init

git push -u origin master

Log in with your Opengist account credentials, and your snippet will be created at the specified URL:

shell
Username for 'http://localhost:6157': thomas
Password for 'http://thomas@localhost:6157':
