gh-gist: Create a new Gist from a space-separated list of files.
$ gh gist create ${filename1 filename2 ---}
try on your machine

The command "gh gist create ${filename1 filename2 ---}" is used to create a GitHub Gist.

Here is an explanation of the different components of the command:

  • "gh": It refers to the GitHub CLI (Command Line Interface), a tool that allows you to interact with GitHub through the command line.
  • "gist create": This is the specific command in the GitHub CLI to create a gist.
  • "${filename1 filename2 ---}": This is a placeholder for the filenames of the files you want to include in the gist. You should replace it with the actual filenames of the files you want to add. If you have multiple files, you need to separate their names with space.

For example, if you have two files "file1.txt" and "file2.txt" that you want to include in the gist, the command would look like this:

gh gist create file1.txt file2.txt

After executing this command, the GitHub CLI will create a Gist with the specified files. It will then return the URL of the created Gist, which you can use to share or access it.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
