ingi-cli

A CLI tool for gists like no other. Run, download and help build a searchable gist API

Features

• Run gists directly from your bash. Multiple language support (python, ruby, shell, node)
• Offline cache for gists

Installation

ingi assumes that any required binaries for executing gists are installed on your system, if not then it will fail.

Install the cli tool through pip:

pip install ingi-cli

Usage

Invoking a gist

ingi get https://api.github.com/gists/ac5a0fb49370e7cff3bee93ecc40b9a8

or use the gist ID

ingi get --use_id ac5a0fb49370e7cff3bee93ecc40b9a8

You can also just cache the gist to use later

ingi get --save_only --use_id ac5a0fb49370e7cff3bee93ecc40b9a8

TODO & Improvements

• Implementing a gist index to search gists programmatically. Any gists executed locally get automatically inserted and indexed on API to be used. This will provide us with a rest API to search for gists 😀.

• Configurable invoke queue, like an invoke.yaml which lists a bunch of gists to execute in order.

• arguments to be passed to scripts, for e.g:

ingi get --use_id ac5a0fb49370e7cff3bee93ecc40b9a8 first_arg second_arg
