gistui – terminal UI for managing GitHub Gists

gistui is a terminal user interface for managing GitHub Gists. It lets you browse and work with gists from the command line, pair them with files in a local working directory, compare local and remote content, and manage common gist tasks without switching to GitHub’s web interface.

The tool delegates authentication to the GitHub CLI, so it fits neatly into an existing terminal-based GitHub workflow.

This is free and open source software.

Key Features

  • Browse, preview, create, edit, download, upload, and pin GitHub Gists.
  • Pair gists with files in the current working directory.
  • Shows visual word-level diffs before downloading or uploading changes.
  • Uses the GitHub CLI for authentication and gist operations.
  • Offers keyboard-driven navigation, filtering, contextual help, and optional mouse support.
