Fluent gist API for node.js and the browser.

var gist = Gist('gistID')
  .token('sometoken')

gist.file('hello.js')
    .write('alert("hello!");')

gist.file('log.txt')
    .append('fails')

gist.save(fn);

npm install gist.js

In the browser (component):

component install matthewmueller/gist

curl -u USERNAME -X POST https://api.github.com/authorizations --data "{\"scopes\":[\"gist\"]}"
