This example shows how to run a series of R scripts hosted as GitHub Gists, each generating a clustering module for a Shiny application. It demonstrates the use of the `devtools` package’s `source_gist` function to fetch and execute code directly from specific gist URLs, with filenames specified for each dataset. The code processes specific time-point Rds files, all time points, and full datasets, including renamed and merged clustering variants. The visualization highlights a reproducible workflow for sourcing remote R code, relying on the gist API and local file handling rather than any graphical or interactive rendering.

Setup Gist for new Rshiny server VMs.

This example shows a setup script for provisioning a new R Shiny server virtual machine, listing the essential R packages and GitHub-hosted tools required for a typical bioinformatics workflow. It demonstrates how to automate dependency installation using base R functions like `install.packages()` and `install_github()` from the `devtools` package, alongside `install_bitbucket()` for MAGeCKFlute. The code explicitly names libraries such as `tidyverse`, `plotly`, `shinydashboard`, and `manhattanly`, and includes custom forks like `manhattanlyCRISPR`. The rendering approach is a plain-text R script, not a visualization, but the list clarifies the environment’s package landscape for reproducibility.

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.

Here are some things you can do with Gists in GistBox.

This example demonstrates the versatility of Gists by showcasing a collection of code snippets, documentation, and a recipe. It displays a JavaScript console log, a Ruby quicksort implementation, a markdown file with keyboard shortcuts and a Clipper extension link, and a markdown recipe with ingredients and directions. The visualization uses the GistBox interface to organize these files, showing how the tool handles multiple file types, including code, documentation, and images, within a single gist. The data source is the GitHub Gist itself, presented as a static list of files without interactive features.

Gist Scraping Script Prototype

This prototype demonstrates a data migration workflow that iterates through every file within each GitHub Gist associated with a given username. The visualization shows the raw JSON structure of a Gist, including its metadata and file contents. The application uses the Octokit library to fetch Gist data from the GitHub API and displays example file entries such as `App.js`, `data.csv`, and `package.json`. This proof of concept is built with React and includes placeholder functions for generating identifiers and converting timestamps, though the actual migration logic is not yet implemented.

Here are some things you can do with Gists in GistBox.

The visualization demonstrates how Gists in GistBox organize reusable code, documentation, and recipes, with files covering JavaScript snippets, a Ruby quicksort implementation, keyboard shortcuts, and a cheesecake recipe. It uses GitHub Gists via the GistBox interface, showing plain-text content in JavaScript (`console.log(window)`), Ruby classes, Markdown formatting, and image links. The example highlights GistBox's role in storing and categorizing diverse information, from code to procedural directions, without specifying a rendering library or data transformation step.

Create .Rds object with components needed for clustering module of heartmat shiny server (for .Rds)

This R script builds a clustering module object for the Shiny server by processing a Seurat object, creating a data frame that combines tSNE coordinates with cluster identities. It demonstrates data preparation for interactive visualization by extracting normalized expression data, metadata, and a marker list filtered to the top 20 markers per cluster by average log fold change. The code uses the dplyr and tidyr libraries for data manipulation, and relies on Seurat’s slots for tSNE embeddings, expression matrices, and metadata, ultimately saving the assembled S4 object as an .Rds file for downstream Shiny app use.

Create clustering module for shiny server for all timepoints

This example builds a clustering module for a Shiny server across multiple developmental time points. It processes Seurat objects to extract t-SNE embeddings, cluster identities, normalized expression data, and metadata, then combines them into a custom S4 object via the `setClass` function. The code filters marker lists by the top 50 markers per cluster using `dplyr`’s `top_n` on pct difference. Using base R matrix conversions and `merge`, it consolidates cell embeddings with identities, saving each time point as an RDS file for later visualization.

Here are some things you can do with Gists in GistBox.

This example showcases the versatility of Gists as a code-storage and note-taking tool, presenting a mix of JavaScript, Ruby, and Markdown files. It first demonstrates reusable JavaScript for console logging, then a Ruby quicksort algorithm class, and finally Markdown documents for project documentation and a cheesecake recipe. The visualization highlights how code snippets and text can be organized together, with the recipe including an image and ingredient lists. The implementation relies on plain text files and code blocks, with no external libraries like d3 or Three.js; instead, it focuses on the raw content structure of Gists, sourced from GitHub’s gist system.
