A gist object or something coerceable to a gist

Details

gist_save: files are written into a new folder, named by the gist id, e.g., a65ac7e56b7b3f746913

gist_open: opens files in your editor/R GUI. Internally, uses file.edit() to open files, using getOption("editor") to open the files. If you're in R.app or RStudio, or other IDE's, files will open in the IDE (I think).

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
gist("a65ac7e56b7b3f746913") %>% gist_save()
gist("a65ac7e56b7b3f746913") %>% gist_save() %>% gist_open()
gist("https://gist.github.com/expersso/4ac33b9c00751fddc7f8") %>%
