# Gost
*The gist client in go*
Gost is a client for the gist API,
it allows you to create and browse the gists of [https://gist.github.com/](https://gist.github.com/).
# Installation
You can grab a binary for your platform on the
[releases page](https://github.com/MaximeD/gost/releases).
Or else, you can install it from sources:
```
go get github.com/MaximeD/gost
```
# Usage
## Create gists
```
gost
```
You can supply as many files as you want here.
Full example:
```
gost -p -d "rocking the casbah" fun.go love_gist.rb
```
will create a private gist with description "rocking the casbah"
with two files `fun.go` and `love_gist.rb`.
The resulting url will be copy to your clipboard.
### Command line options
#### Private gists
By default, your gists are public.
If you want a private one, just add `-p` to your command.
On first run, `gost` will create a prompt you for your credentials
and store a token in it's configuration file,
so that you will have to do this step only once.
#### Description
To give your gist a description use `-d `.
#### Open result in browser
To have your browser auto open on the url, use the flag `-o`.
(It will rely on `xdg-open`).
## Update gist
To update a gist:
```
gost -u
```
You can supply an optional `-d` flag to update the description of your gist.
```
gost -u -d
```
## List gists
You can list the gist of a user with the following:
```
gost -l
```
## Download a gist
```
gost -g
```
## Delete a gist
Given you have the id of one of your gist and the right to delete it, use `-D` flag:
```
gost -D
```
