Unless I'm reading wrong, :Gist -a shouldn't need an account because it's making an anonymous gist, but I'm still getting the error message.

This is vim 8.1, and I used Vundle with Plugin 'mattn/webapi-vim' and Plugin 'mattn/gist-vim'

Is it an issue on my side, or something else I might need to look for? I couldn't find much useful information on :help gist-vim-setup, as, again, I'm not trying to set up an account

mattn commented

GitHub already stopped anonymous gists.

oh, that's sad to hear :/ It might then be a good idea to remove it from the readme/docs, or mention that this is why it doesn't work

Well, looks like my PR isn't going to get merged but feel free to use my fork if you miss that feature.. With vim plug:

Plug 'olalonde/gist-vim', { 'branch': 'anonymous-fallback' }
