Github – hosting provider for the open source version control system Git, has launched a version control system for small code snippets called Gist. Now you can use pastebins without having to delete the entire snippet and recreating it again.
It even automatically detects the code highlighting based on the file extension you create. And if you want to protect your code, you can make them private. I do wish that they have a facility to upload the source code instead of me having to manually copy-paste it. Best of all, you have got yourself a entire git branch – which you can clone it from any machine if you just know the number.
You will see me using more of Gist for all my code snippets.
