Gists are similar to your normal GitHub repositories, but primarily focused on scenaios where you only have one (or a few files) as opposed to a full project with many directories, etc.. This can be really useful for scenarios where you have some pieces of code that you want to share with colleagues, friends or the general public without buildling out a full on project.

Every gist is a Git repository, which means that it can be forked and cloned. If you are signed in to GitHub 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.

Gists can be public or secret. Public gists show up in Discover, 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.

In this video we will look at how to create a gist, clone it locally and finally make changes.
