source_gist: Run a script on gist

Description

Gist is a simple way to share snippets and pastes with others. All gists are git repositories, so they are automatically versioned, forkable and usable as a git repository. https://gist.github.com/

Usage

source_gist(entry, ..., sha1 = NULL)

Arguments

entry

either full url (character), gist ID (numeric or character of numeric). If a gist ID is specified and the entry has multiple files, only the first file in the gist is sourced.

...

other options passed to source

sha1

The SHA-1 hash of the file at the remote URL. See source_url for more information on using a SHA-1 hash.

Details

A gist can have multiple files. Gist is based on git, so a gist has commit histories (i.e., revisions). You can specify a commit by giving a SHA of the commit.

Examples

source_gist(1654919)
source_gist("1654919")
