Gistify is a jQuery plugin that improves the embedded-gist experience.
As we all know, relying on external services for content can be tricky – the service might be down, or might be slow to respond. Gistify helps with the particular case of using gist.github.com. With Gistify, you link to your gists instead of embedding <script>
tags, and with a quick call to gistify
you can replace them as part of the $(document).ready()
function.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('a.gist').gistify();
});
