Clone gist in Desktop

This userscript adds a “Clone in Desktop” button to individual gist pages on GitHub. It targets the existing download button’s list item and duplicates it, then rewrites the anchor’s `href` to use the `github-mac://openRepo/` protocol with the repository URL taken from the page’s hidden `url-field` input. The script also swaps the button’s label and icon classes (`octicon-cloud-download` to `octicon-device-desktop`) and inserts the new element before the original. It relies on plain DOM manipulation via `querySelector`, `createElement`, and `innerHTML`, with no external libraries.

Download the user.js file and then drop it into your chrome://extensions/ tab and enjoy the Clone in Desktop button on your gists!

The Gist to Clone All Gists

This example demonstrates a practical workflow for backing up or synchronizing a GitHub user’s public gists. It first clones every gist from a specified GitHub account over SSH, using a paginated API fetch to retrieve the list of gists and the Node.js `https` module to authenticate via an OAuth token. It then shows a complementary bash script that iterates through local directories, committing any changes with an empty message and pushing them back to their remote origins. The visualization highlights the interplay between the GitHub REST API and command-line Git operations for batch repository management.

Gist ac3b3d8bc1faa1422b4260218a23d444

A userscript injects a persistent "EDIT" link into Gitbook documentation pages. The script uses the Tampermonkey API via a `@match` directive and runs on `docs.openbrush.app`. It appends a fixed-position anchor element to the document body with `appendChild`, styling it through inline CSS properties. The link’s `href` updates on mouseover by replacing the current URL’s path with an equivalent Gitbook editor address, using `document.location.href` and string concatenation. The code relies on `setTimeout` to delay injection by one second, ensuring the page has loaded before modification.

[building-blocks](http://github.com/enjalot/building-blocks)

A bookmarklet that redirects any bl.ocks.org or gist.github.com URL to the corresponding page on blockbuilder.org. The page displays a draggable link, which users add to their bookmark bar. It uses JavaScript string replacement via `window.location` and `String.replace` to rewrite the URL, requiring no external libraries beyond the included D3 3.5.5 script, though the code does not rely on D3 for its core functionality.

Gist 8e4a7859bf351698daff

This example displays a collection of Git command-line snippets organized by workflow categories, with each command as a labeled node. The visualization uses D3.js to render these commands as interactive text elements, applying a force-directed layout to spatially group related commands like repository creation, branching, and syncing. The code references `d3.forceSimulation` for positioning nodes and includes the raw command strings from a public Gist, with no external data fetching. Each node displays its command syntax and a brief comment, while the layout dynamically adjusts to avoid overlap based on the text content.

Gist 3a03bac4ed27ab3c1ca3d87cc21fcd9d

This userscript adds a fixed "EDIT" link to the top-right corner of GitBook documentation pages for two specific sites: OpenBlocks and OpenBrush. The script determines which documentation site is currently open by checking the URL, then constructs the corresponding GitBook editing URL by replacing the documentation domain prefix with the appropriate GitBook organization and space path. It uses the Tampermonkey API and plain DOM manipulation to create the anchor element, set its styles, and update the link dynamically on mouse movement.

Gist 10794

This example demonstrates a GitHub repository interaction system built with Ruby and the GNCommand event framework, showing how drag-and-drop actions on repository URLs trigger context-specific behaviors. The visualization highlights the branching logic that detects whether a dropped URL points to a repository, a tree, or a commit, with placeholder sections for handling forks, files, and users. The code uses the GNCommand API’s `:drop` event scoped to `github.com` and parses URL path components via `path.pathComponents`. While the rendering approach is not visible, the focus lies on the event-driven decision tree that maps URL structures to potential GitHub actions.

Gist 7f5cc15d0eae9281c33b735420ae8ee0

This example transforms a PmWiki source page into a searchable interface for code snippets. It fetches the page’s source via the `fetch` API, splits it into lines, and tokenizes text wrapped in `@@` delimiters. Each snippet becomes a clickable link that queries GitHub’s gist search for matches by the user “Utopiah”. The script uses `document.querySelectorAll` to locate existing `<code>` elements in the page and replaces their content with the generated anchor tags, while logging any unmatched snippets. It relies on vanilla DOM manipulation and URL construction, with no external visualization libraries.

ACE editor for editing your gists

This userscript replaces GitHub Gist textareas with the ACE editor, preserving the original hidden textarea for form submission. It loads ACE, jQuery, and the Twilight theme via the LABjs script loader, then injects a sized container after each textarea and hides the native field. The editor synchronizes its content back to the textarea on every change, and detects the file extension from the gist’s filename input to dynamically load and apply the matching syntax mode (JavaScript, CoffeeScript, HTML, or CSS) via `ace.edit`, `session.setMode`, and `require`. Data comes from the gist’s own textarea values and filenames.
