Feature request: establish folder as gist clone

After creating a gist, it would be great if it could establish that folder as a clone of the gist so that future changes could be just git pushed.
p.s. thanks for the invaluable tool!
This would be awesome and I would literally want to be able to use it de facto (to clarify, I don't think it should be the default for all users out of the box). Most useful (personal weigh in here) would be something that triggers off of an environment variable (so I can control scope - make it persist for a session or permanently without having to re-type it every time or create my own wrapper. I have enough aliases and wrapper scripts 😭, or just pass it in at the command line as a one-off.)
Reason this is so useful beyond the obvious value is, a lot of times I make a gist, move on to something else, then realize oh wow, I messed something up or I should really have this with that gist too that I found 5 mins later. I could have run a ton of unrelated commands since then, making it difficult to re-use the command for updating. If it's a gist clone, I can actually do things to tie it into other existing tools to make it easy to jump to that directory, etc. Update will be easy and not something I had to learn for this tool or that tool (it just uses git with the option of using the tool's existing update methods if that is more convenient).
