Introduction

Are you a developer who uses GitHubs Gist to store and share code? Why not share your code on a WordPress powered blog using Gist Shortcode by F13Dev.

Simply install the plugin and activate it via the WordPress admin panel, add a GitHub API token (optional), then add the shortcode [gist gid="A Gist ID] to the desired location on a page or blog post.

Features

  • Cached using Transient
  • Clean styled appearance
  • Shows the creation date and last edited date
  • Shows the Gist description if one is set
  • Displays the filename, file size, download link and full code for each file in the gist
  • Code is displayed in using Googles PrettyPrint in a fixed height scrollable container
  • Works without an API Key, but also has the option to add a Key should you require a higher rate limit

            <p>
                Welcome to the settings page for GitHub Gist Shortcode.
            </p>
            <p>
                This plugin can be used without an API token, although it is recommended to use one as the number of API calls is quite restrictive without one.
            </p>
            <p>
                To obtain a GitHub API token:
                <ol>
                    <li>
                        Log-in to your GitHub account.
                    </li>
                    <li>
                        Visit <a href="https://github.com/settings/tokens">https://github.com/settings/tokens</a>.
                    </li>
                    <li>
                        Click the 'Generate new token' button at the top of the page/
                    </li>
                    <li>
                        Re-enter your GitHub password for security.
                    </li>
                    <li>
                        Enter a description, such as 'my wordpress site'.
                    </li>
                    <li>
                        Click the 'Generate token' button at the bottom of the page, no other setting changes are required.
                    </li>
                    <li>
                        Copy and paste your new API token. Please note, your access token will only be visible once.
                    </li>
                </ol>
            </p>
