Quickly create anonymous GitHub gists.
$ npm install --save quick-gistGitHub deprecated anonymous gists so you'll need to authenticate. 😭
Using GitHub Enterprise? Set your gist endpoint with QUICK_GIST_ENDPOINT (e.g. https://github.yourcompany.com/api/v3/gists).
GitHub's public API at https://api.github.com/gists is used by default. Uses language-classifier to guess file languages.
var quickGist = require('quick-gist');
quickGist({
content: 'gists are fun',
description: 'This gist is the best', // Optional
public: false, // Whether the gist should be public or unlisted. Defaults to false (unlisted).
enterpriseOnly: false, // Prohibit posting to GitHub.com. Defaults to false. Useful if you're posting company secrets.
fileExtension: 'md' // Optionally force a file extension if you don't want to rely on language-classifier.
}, function(err, resp, data) {
console.log(data);
});Returns a whole lot of useful info:

'this is the content of the second file',
'oh look another file'
]
}, function(err, resp, data) {
console.log(data);
