About gists
Every gist is a Git repository, which means that it can be forked and cloned. If you are signed in to GitHub Enterprise Server when you create a gist, the gist will be associated with your account and you will see it in your list of gists when you navigate to your gist 主页、http(s)://[hostname]/gist 或 http(s)://gist.[hostname]（如果启用了子域）.
Gists can be public or secret. Public gists show up in Discover、http(s)://[hostname]/gist/discover 或 http(s)://gist.[hostname]/discover（如果启用了子域）, where people can browse new gists as they're created. They're also searchable, so you can use them if you'd like other people to find and see your work.
Secret gists don't show up in Discover、http(s)://[hostname]/gist/discover 或 http(s)://gist.[hostname]/discover（如果启用了子域） and are not searchable. Secret gists aren't private. If you send the URL of a secret gist to a friend, they'll be able to see it. However, if someone you don't know discovers the URL, they'll also be able to see your gist. If you need to keep your code away from prying eyes, you may want to create a private repository instead.
在创建 Gist 后，不可将其从公共转换为机密。
If your site administrator has disabled private mode, you can also use anonymous gists, which can be public or secret.
警告：匿名 gists 不能从Web 浏览器中� 除。 若要� 除匿名 Gist，请联系 您的网站管理员。 请提供您想要� 除的 Gist 的 URL。
You'll receive a notification when:
- You are the author of a gist.
- Someone mentions you in a gist.
- You subscribe to a gist, by clicking Subscribe at the top of any gist.
You can pin gists to your profile so other people can see them easily. For more information, see "Pinning items to your profile."
You can discover public gists others have created by going to the gist 主页、http(s)://[hostname]/gist 或 http(s)://gist.[hostname]（如果启用了子域） and clicking All Gists. This will take you to a page of all gists sorted and displayed by time of creation or update. You can also search gists by language with Gist 搜索、http(s)://[hostname]/gist/search 或 http(s)://gist.[hostname]/search（如果启用了子域）. Gist search uses the same search syntax as code search.
Since gists are Git repositories, you can view their full commit history, complete with diffs. You can also fork or clone gists. For more information, see "Forking and cloning gists".
You can download a ZIP file of a gist by clicking the Download ZIP button at the top of the gist. You can embed a gist in any text field that supports Javascript, such as a blog post. To get the embed code, click the clipboard icon next to the Embed URL of a gist. To embed a specific gist file, append the Embed URL with ?file=FILENAME.
