Gister - Share Code Snippets Effortlessly
Gister is a Google Chrome Extension that aims to make sharing code snippets easier than ever before. With Gister, users can highlight, submit, and share code through a simple and intuitive interface. This extension utilizes GitHub's public Gist API to generate Gists of the submitted code snippets.
To activate Gister, simply highlight the desired code or text, and press the assigned command key (default is Alt + G). This action will open a dialogue box where you can add a name, description, and file type to your code snippet. After submitting the code, you will receive a shareable URL within seconds.
It's important to note that Gister is not an official GitHub product, but rather a pet project of a university student. Despite not being affiliated with GitHub, Gister provides a valuable tool for developers looking to quickly and easily share code snippets.
