Feature Request: Return remote-url of created repo (by push) or allow setting the id of a newly created gist

[bernhard-da]

Hi @thomiceli. First of, thanks a lot for creating this wonderful and useful piece of software! Today I spent a bit of time to try to make use of initializing gists via git push (documented here) which generally works well. To make scripting a bit easier, it would be great if the

git push -u origin master

could somehow be wrapped into an API-call so that it actually returns the newly created Gist-url; Currently the created url (together with further instructions) is only printed in the output.

remote: Your new repository has been created here: {opengist.url}/{id}
remote: If you want to keep working with your gist, you could set the remote URL via:        
remote: git remote set-url origin {opengist.url}/{id}

If there was any way to get the {id} after the push-command or by allowing to set {id} directly by allowing something like

git remote add origin {opengist.url}/{id}/init

it would be much easier to automate the process of batch-importing.

I went for something like this, involving Git push options

git push -o url=mygist # Will set the URL to https://opengist.example.com/user/mygist
