Gists are just like any repository.

I was editing a gist recently when I thought. There's got to be a better way! So I tried to clone my gist from the command line using the following command.

git clone git@gist.github.com:<gistid>

Turns out that’s valid! Since I own the gist as well I can push to it just like any other repository on git.

This is really awesome since I write gists often.
