Features

  • Adds a button in the text toolbar for creating a new Gist and adding it to the post.
  • Gists can be created as either public or secret (unlisted).
  • Double click on an existing Gist to edit or delete it.
  • Deleting a gist will remove both the embed from the post and the gist from your account. To only remove the embed, just click on it and press the delete key as usual.
  • Syntax highlighting for the most popular programming languages thanks to react-ace!
  • Fixes the height of the Gists in the editor, to display them without being cut and without the extra padding (https://github.com/Maluen/code-medium/issues/3).

Authorizing the application

This extension uses the GitHub Gist API to create and edit gists, this means that you'll have to authorize the OAuth application for the "gist" permission.

This is fantastic! I used it for several of my coding articles here - https://janac.medium.com/software-development-interview-questions-ce2c6e94381d I have no idea why the other person left a 1-star review on this. Definitely easier to use than the "copy-to-gist" add-on!
