gh-gist: View a Gist in the default browser without rendering Markdown.
$ gh gist view ${select} --web --raw
try on your machine
This command is using the GitHub command-line tool (gh) to view a specific GitHub Gist.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
gh gist view
: This part of the command specifies that you want to view a GitHub Gist.${select}
: This is a placeholder variable (enclosed in${}
) that should be replaced with the ID of the Gist you want to view. Gist IDs are alphanumeric strings and uniquely identify each Gist.--web
: This flag tells the tool to open the Gist in a web browser for visual viewing.--raw
: This flag specifies that you want to view the raw content of the Gist, rather than a rendered version. The raw content typically shows the actual code or text that is part of the Gist.
So, when you replace ${select}
with the desired Gist ID and execute the command, it will open the specified Gist in your default web browser, displaying the raw content of the Gist.
