To create a gist programmatically using JavaScript, you can make use of the GitHub API. The first step is to obtain an access token from your GitHub account.
Then, you can use the fetch
function to post a JSON payload to the GitHub API's gists
endpoint. The payload should include a description
and a files
object, where each key represents a filename and the value contains the file contents.
Here's an example:
index.tsx482 chars22 lines
This code will create a private (i.e. public: false
) gist with one file (file1.txt
) containing the text Hello, world!
. You can customize the files
object to include multiple files if desired. After the gist is created successfully, you'll see a message in the console with a link to the newly created gist.
