usage without credentials prompts you to run ":help gist-vim-setup", this help topic doesn't exist

First, you need to set your GitHub username in global git config:

Right, I did that and got it to work, the issue was more about the prompt for the help topic that doesn't exist. it seems bad to tell people to do that.

Ok, could you please give one sentence to add?

The help tag gist-vim-setup does exist in the documentation. @kevinburke perhaps you didn't run :helptags regeneration after you installed the plugin? Some plugin managers like Vundle might do this automatically, pathogen has a :Helptags command that I believe you need to run manually after installing something new, etc.
