gh-gist-list1
List your gists
Usage
gh gist
list
[flags]
Overview
List gists from your user account.
You can use a regular expression to filter the description, file names, or even the content of files in the gist using --filter.
For supported regular expression syntax, see ⟨https://pkg.go.dev/regexp/syntax⟩.
Use --include-content to include content of files, noting that this will be slower and increase the rate limit used. Instead of printing a table, code will be printed with highlights similar to gh search code:
{{gist ID}} {{file name}}
{{description}}
{{matching lines from content}}
No highlights or other color is printed when output is redirected.
