GISTBOT is a smart bot that watches the github gist feed and gives you the power to find in real time repositories that interest you.
You have to use your imagination to take full advantage of it as the uses may vary depending on the person.
Some may want for example to find all the lastest Javascript repositories that use Angular where some others may want to find hidden (or not so) RSA Private Keys :)
