### export
Export a gist (available at local) to a git repository,
with its full historgister
======
`gister` is a command line tool for managing GitHub gists.
Based on [gist.rb][gist] by [@defunkt][defunkt], this tool helps you to manage a local copy of your gists.
After publishing files to gist.github.com, this tool will:
- automatically clone the gist repository to local
- index the content of your gist for code search
- fetch meta info (e.g. description, url) of the gist from GitHub and add them to `gists.list`.
[gist]: https://github.com/defunkt/gist
[defunkt]: https://github.com/defunkt
You can also use `gister` to sync your gists (created and starred)
between gist.github.com and your machine.
Dependencies
------------
- curl
- git
- [gist.rb][gist]
- [jq](http:https://stedolan.github.io/jq/)
For Linux, BSD, etc, you also need `xclip` or `xsel`.
For Cygwin, you need putclip/getclip provided by cygutils-extra.
(Mas OS X users should be fine with the preinstalled pbcopy/pbpaste.)
Mac OS X users also need GNU versions of `sed` and `date`, a.k.a `gsed` and
`gdate`.
Note: `xsel` users should use `gist.rb` v4.1.2+, since there is [a bug bitting xsel users in previous versions][151].
[151]: https://github.com/defunkt/gist/pull/151
### Optional Dependencies
- [csearch](https://github.com/google/codesearch)
To search gists on your local machine.
If not available, fallbacks to `grep`.
- [legit](https://github.com/kennethreitz/legit)
If available, invokes `legit sync` to sync gist repository.
Legit will stash, fetch, rebase/merge, push, and unstash if necessary.
The `develop` branch of legit allows configuration for merge policy:
* The default smart merge (rebase when suitable)
* Always merge, never rebase (since [21bb7ed])
* Always rebase, never merge (since [252b1eb])
* Fast forward merge only (since [4782928])
If legit is not available,
gister will report dirty gist repositories (`DIRTY $gist_id`)
when the environment variable `GISTER_AUTO_COMMIT` does not exist,
and will commit files automatically when `GISTER_AUTO_COMMIT` exists.

Install
-------
Note that the following instructions only install gister itself.
You need to install its dependencies mentioned before yourself.
git clone https://github.com/weakish/gister.git
cd gister
make install
- Edit `config.mk` if you do not want to install it to `/usr/local`.
- Compatible with both GNU and BSD make.
To uninstall:
```sh
; cd gister
; make uninstall
```
You can also install/uninstall gister via [basher].

Usage
-----
### init
For the first time, you need to run `gister init` to associate your GitHub account and configure the directory to store local copies of your gists.
After that, you may run `gister sync` to fetch all your gists (created and starred) to local.
Warn: `sync` can only fetch up to 10 million gists for you. If you have more than 10 million gists, you need to modify the source of `gister` to lift the limit.
### Configuration
`GISTER_USE_HTTPS`: If you need to use https for some reason, set the env var `GISTER_USE_HTTPS`, but please note this isn't necessarily more secure than ssh, it's just a different option in case your network blocks all traffic other than http/s.
`GISTER_AUTO_COMMIT`: If you'd like the `sync` command to automatically commit any local changes you've made before pulling and pushing to gist.github.com, set the `GISTER_AUTO_COMMIT` env var to anything.
### publish
Whenever you want to publish a gist, just use
gister description file.txt ...
This will create the gist with the provided description, clone the gist repo, and put the gistid to clipborad.
Note: you must provide gist description, otherwise `gister` will fail.
Hint: `gister` will pass all arguments to gist as `gist -c -o -d description ...`, so you can use other options that gist understands, e.g. `gister description -P` will work.
If you've edited your gists at `gist.github.com` or local machine, without pull/push changesets, you can sync all your gists via `gister sync`.
If you've deleted your gists at `gist.github.com`, after `gister sync`, the directories of deleted gists at your local machine will be marked with a prefix `_`.
### search
Search all of your gists:
gister search regexp
If `codesearch` is installed, `regexp` is RE2 (nearly PCRE).
Otherwise it is ERE, a.k.a `grep -E`.

Setting environment variable `GISTER_DEBUG` to `true` (or any non-empty string) will enable debug mode (`set -x`).
```sh
; cd git-repo-root
; gister export gist_id sub_directory_name branch_name
```
The content of the gist will be exported to `sub_directory_name`,
and the merging message will use `branch_name`.
### migrate
From version 1.0.0, `gister` uses a different storage structure.
If you have used `gister <1.0.0`, then you need to run this command to migrate:
gister migrate
Storage

/path/to/your/gists

|-- repo # git repositories of your gists
|-- tree # working directory of your gist repositories
