Create and maintain collections of public gists in a local directory

In order to view files while you're editing them, you'll need gulp-octodown-livereload.

(The following assumes you have a ~/bin directory and that it's in your PATH)

gem install octodown
npm install -g gulp-octodown-livereload
cd ~/bin
ln -s /usr/local/lib/node_modules/gulp-octodown-livereload/bin/gulp-octodown-livereload

Create a gist called bacon.md in a directory called food under your home directory:

gist_directory create ~/food/bacon.md

Edit in your favourite editor (creating if necessary):

gist_directory edit ~/food/bacon.md

View compiled Markdown in your browser (with livereload):

gist_directory view ~/food/bacon.md
