Very cool! I love using GitHub repos and gists for managing my personal notes/code snippets, and currently use GistPad as an editor-level virtual file system (for VS Code). But having an OS-level equivalent is _super_ useful.

Any plans to add support for gists to Hubfs?

Gists are just repos under the hood, it should work natively.

Yeah good point! Though I was also thinking about the ability to easily create/edit/delete gists, by means of file system operations. For example, it would be pretty cool if you could create a directory in some “gists” mount point, and have it transparently create a gist for it. Then, as you add/edit/delete files in that directory, those changes are reflected in the gist’s repo.
