You can create two kinds of gists: public and secret. Create a public gist if you're ready to share your ideas with the world or a secret gist if you're not.
If you are signed in to GitHub Enterprise 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 home page (http(s)://[hostname]/gist, or http(s)://gist.[hostname] if subdomains are enabled. For more information, contact your site administrator).

You can also drag and drop a text file from your desktop directly into the gist editor.
