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.
