GitHub Gists

GitHub Gists are a feature of GitHub that allows users to easily share snippets of code or text. Think of a Gist as a mini-repository where you can store and collaborate on small pieces of information, such as code examples, notes, or configuration files. Each Gist can be public, for anyone to see, or secret, only shared with selected people. They are useful for sharing code quickly without needing a full project, and they support version control, meaning you can track changes over time. Gists make it easier to collaborate and share knowledge within the programming community.
