Forked Gist Vim Plugin

GitHub Source Hosting

This morning I was looking to see if anyone had updated the Gist Vim plugin to support the other functions that I haven't yet gotten time to check on. I found the someone had put it up on GitHub, and checked to see if their repo had the fix I made to the plugin yesterday. He hadn't. But that got me to thinking - Why don't you fork it, and fix it yourself? So I did.

I've now got a repo at GitHub for my fork of the Gist Vim plugin that does a few things that the original didn't:

  • Pulling a Gist doesn't split the window - it takes the whole buffer
  • Pulling a Gist works with the new API v3 GitHub spec

I pushed it up - worked like a charm, and now I've got a place to keep this bad boy up to date. I still haven't had time to look at the other functions, but I will, and I'll fix them, if needed. The scripting language is pretty nice, and I can't imagine I'd need anything it doesn't support.

It's silly, but this is my first fork on GitHub, and I'm really pretty giddy about it. Jazzed, even.
