go-gist
=======
Ever see some tasty Go code in a [GitHub Gist][1] and want to try it out? What are you supposed to do, clone it into your own GitHub repo and `go get` it from there? Copy it locally? What are you? A farmer?
What you really want is to `import "gist.github.com/UserName/11235813"`, but Gists don't support that. :cry:
Which is why I made this simple app to solve a problem. Instead of `import "gist.github.com/..."`, `import "go-gist.appspot.com/..."`, and the site will tell the Go tool to go fetch the contents of the Gist.
It's all described [in the docs][0]. Those guys thought of everything.
Try it out:
```
go get go-gist.appspot.com/ImJasonH/7791518
```
or
```
go get go-gist.appspot.com/ImJasonH/7791518/readyset
```
Then:
```
import (
//...
readyset "go-gist.appspot.com/ImJasonH/7791518"
)
```
or
```
import (
//...
"go-gist.appspot.com/ImJasonH/7791518/readyset"
)
```
By the way, this would be totally unnecessary if the Gist HTML page was served with the necessary `` tag. If you work at GitHub or know someone who does, bug them to add a tag to their Gist HTML so I can turn this site off.
