gists = [g for g in gh.iter_gists()]
Creating a gist after authenticating¶
from github3 import login
gh = login(username, password)
files = {
'spam.txt' : {
'content': 'What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?'
}
}
gist = gh.create_gist('Answer this to cross the bridge', files, public=False)
# gist == <Gist [gist-id]>
print(gist.html_url)
Creating an anonymous gist¶
from github3 import create_gist
files = {
'spam.txt' : {
'content': 'What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?'
}
}
gist = create_gist('Answer this to cross the bridge', files)
comments = [c for c in gist.iter_comments()]
# []
comment = gist.create_comment('Bogus. This will not work.')
# Which of course it didn't, because you're not logged in
# comment == None
print(gist.html_url)
In the above examples 'spam.txt'
is the file name. GitHub will auto-detect
file type based on extension provided. 'What... is the air-speed velocity of
an unladen swallow?'
is the file’s content or body. 'Answer this to cross
the bridge'
is the gists’s description. While required by github3.py, it is
allowed to be empty, e.g., ''
is accepted by GitHub.
Note that anonymous gists are always public.
