Check out Gist it - a chrome extension that lets you embed file from Github repository. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gist-it/gmemoangmf...

Thanks! I will do.

There are other services that do similar things out there, I just forgot their names.

Darn, in that case, I wasted a good amount of time! Hahaha. I wasn't able to find the other services though.

When you remember, if you could drop them in here, that would be awesome! If they're open source, I may just contribute to those. Otherwise, I'll probably keep this going.

I found two: one is not working anymore/abandoned: https://github.com/kirbysayshi/ghembedder, the other seems incomplete/abandoned: https://github.com/cloud9ide/snippets

But there was one which worked, I think I used it somewhere some months ago. Perhaps it was discontinued also. I can't find it.

Anyway, I think yours is much better (although I haven't used it yet).

Thanks :) I appreciate you looking into that for me.

Is there planned support for gitlabs sometime soon? I've been moving all my projects slowly off github due to recent events.

I also want to add that even just as it sits this is really cool and I'll definitely be using it in the short future.

Thanks! :) I could add support for gitlabs pretty easily.

Could you do me a favor and submit a feature request on github?

I can definitely get it in there.

Yea, definitely. This is a really cool project.

GitLab support added :)

Awesome!

Your live example is trying to fetch something from `localhost`.

Hahaha, fixed. Thanks lol

I think you should add syntax coloring on your snippets.

Hmmm... I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

Could you clarify?

I'm definitely seeing syntax highlighting here. http://www.gitsnippet.com/test.html

No syntax highlighting here either, Firefox 44.0.2, console shows that loadJS is undefined

Ahhh, I'll look into that on firefox :)

Thanks,

Patched. Syntax highlighting should work now :)
