# jister

Easily gist an entire project.

Well, let's say somebody submits an issue to that super project you're contributing to. You do want to fix it but when you read it says: "X doesn't work on my machine".

Does that sound familiar? If it does, welcome jister. With it you can easily upload an entire project to a gist in no time. Sure, you could throw a tarball somewhere but you will miss the gist's sweetness: forking and comments on your code. Beat that :P

gem install jister

curl -L http://jister.uxtemple.com | `which bash` -s GIST-ID

A jist is no more than a bunch of files on a gist and way to name them. If Github provided directories on gists it would be even easier but it doesn't. So I've just replaced / on paths for _-_. Try that and the fetch your script with the pulling instructions above.

This is dead simple. On your project's directory, run:

jister push

or:

jister pull GIST-ID

To list the available recipes do:

jister recipes

## Configuration

The project's root. Default's to the working directory. To set it, do:

export JISTER_ROOT='/path/to/jisted/project'

The files that will be saved to the gist. Defaults to ['**/*.rb', '**/*.haml', '**/*.rake', '**/*.js', '**/*.css']. To set it, do:

export JISTER_FILES='Gemfile,**/*.rb,thisfile.js'

Set JISTER_PUBLIC to true if you want to allow public jistering. Defaults to false.

export JISTER_PUBLIC=true

Copy lib/jister.rake into your app. Make sure you have "jist" installed first.

To an entire Padrino project:

jister push --recipe padrino
