Gister Extension

Gister is a Google Chrome Extension that aims to make sharing code snippets easier than ever before. Gister allows users to highlight, submit and share code, all through a simple and intuitive interface. Gister utilities GitHub's public Gist API to make POST requests which in turn, generate Gists of the code snippets submitted by users.

To activate Gister, simply highlight the code or text that you wish to copy, and press your assigned command key (default is Alt + G). This will then open up a dialogue box which will allow you to add a name, description and file type to your code snippet. From here you can submit the code snippet, and you shall receive a shareable URL within a few seconds.

It should be noted that this extension has been created by a university student who has no association with GitHub. This is not an official GitHub product, but more simply a pet project of an aspiring developer who is aiming to help create useful software solutions.
