Project description
GistRun is a command-line tool that allows you to fetch and execute code from GitHub Gists. It provides a convenient way to run code snippets or scripts directly from Gists, without the need to clone or download the entire repository.
Use Cases
GistRun can be particularly useful in the following scenarios:
Reusing code snippets: Instead of rewriting the same code snippets for common tasks (e.g., utility functions, data processing scripts, etc.), you can store them in GitHub Gists and easily fetch and execute them using GistRun.
Sharing scripts: GistRun allows you to share scripts or code snippets with others by hosting them on GitHub Gists. Others can then execute your code using GistRun without needing to clone or download your entire repository.
Automating workflows: You can integrate GistRun into your automation scripts or continuous integration/deployment pipelines to fetch and execute scripts or tests directly from Gists, streamlining your workflows.
Learning and experimenting: GistRun provides a convenient way to execute code snippets from GitHub Gists, making it easier to learn from examples or experiment with new ideas without cluttering your local environment.
By leveraging GistRun, you can save time, avoid reinventing the wheel, and promote code reuse and collaboration within your team or community.
Installation
To install GistRun, run:
$ pip install gistrun
Usage
The main command to execute code from a GitHub Gist is gistrun exec:
$ gistrun exec octocat/my-gist
This command will fetch the gist named my-gist owned by the user octocat and execute the files it contains using the appropriate commands based on the file extensions.
