Visual Studio 2012 - Import / Export GitHub Gists

Question

I went to the following post: Sexually managing code snippets using Gists Jeffrey Way, which describes how to manage and share snippets using GitHub from Sublime Text 2 .

It uses a plugin to easily import and export Gists from GitHub.

I want to do the same in VS2012, but cannot find a plugin or solution for this. There is a Gister that allows you to create Gists, but it does not import.

Does anyone know of another plugin or similar solution for this?

Answer 1

To import gists into Visual Studio, keep in mind that each gist is a regular git repository. As a result, you should be able to use a plugin, such as Visual Studio Tools for Git , to clone an entity git repository.

As you mentioned in your question, you can use Gister for other gist-related functions.
