Snippets, Gists, Etc. feature

Would be great to see a snippets feature added like github gists or gitlab snippets... It's an invaluable tool when you don't want a full blown repo.

Thanks your feature request!

We want users to be able edit in the web UI, so this feature may come together/after https://github.com/gogits/gogs/issues/270

You could potentially integrate with GitHub's gists for this.

They don't charge you for them and allow you to create an unlimited amount.

However I can understand that not everyone wants to give their data to GitHub.

the feature request was to add a feature like github gists or gitlab snippets, not supplant it using one of those existing solutions by other providers - ie. add it as a feature to gogs - I already use gists regularly and see it as a great feature for gogs

I am aware of what the request was. I'm just not clear on the added benefit of adding this to Gogs versus using an existing (great) solution.

The only thing I can think of is owning your own data, which I agree can be useful in some instances.

Not sure why this isn't obvious...

-private intranet -data ownership -self imposed security policies -whole stack management of IT

Pretty much agree with @robmoggach, if we wanted to use GitHub's Gists, we'd just use them. Gogs can end up on a system behind a firewall that can't push things to GitHub (one of the benefits of a self-hosted solution), so of course this needs to be standalone.

thanks... shouldn't really be a discussion but good to have some backup. GitLab does it... gogs should too.

This would be a really awesome feature, nice to see it in a milestone :D

@kolis :smile:

We would also use this feature internally. It'd be nice if multiple "files" could be added to a snippet like Github does with its Gists. That would also be a real advantage over GitLab. IMHO they only allow adding of one file per snippet.

As #270 has been implemented in december 2015 and the web editor is available since a few days, it might be good to look at this feature again?

Any news on this? It would be very useful.

Any info about it?

Thank you!

Any update for gist?

Everyone seems to be expecting this (it would be a very nice addition!), but no one is sending in any PR to contribute. I do not have knowledge of go, but if anyone does, let's stop with the +1, and short inquires, and just sent in your PRs.

Please, learn how to use issues on GitHub. This isn't Facebook, nor Twitter. Your +1 only comments do nothing else but to pollute the original request.
