gistclone

clones a gist.github.com or bl.ocks.org url without having to wait for the laggy gist.github.com page.

Usage

Install:

npm install -g gistclone

Then, copy the url of a bl.ocks.org and run:

gistclone https://bl.ocks.org/1wheel/76f1f3330b09f5efa0b36fb2b9782e4f

This looks up the description of the gist and clones the gist a folder with that name:

git clone git@gist.github.com:76f1f3330b09f5efa0b36fb2b9782e4f.git ${description}

Options:

--https <https> - clone over https instead of ssh
