The gist --login command is used to authenticate and login to your GitHub account in order to access and create gists.
Gists are a way to share and collaborate on code snippets, text, or entire files. They can be public or private and can include multiple files. They are particularly useful for sharing code samples or collaborating on solutions with others.
When you run gist --login, it will prompt you to enter your GitHub credentials (username and password or token). This authentication process allows the command-line tool gist to access your GitHub account and perform actions on your behalf, such as creating gists or modifying existing ones.
