# App::Nopaste::Service::Gist(3pm)

Service provider for GitHub gist - http://gist.github.com/

## NAME

App::Nopaste::Service::Gist - Service provider for GitHub gist - http://gist.github.com/

## VERSION

version 1.013

## GitHub Authorization

In order to create gists you have to get an oauth token. That could be easily obtained via curl:

```
    curl -X POST 'https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@api.github.com/authorizations' \
        -d '{"scopes":["gist"],"note":"App::Nopaste"}'
```

or you can use this module to do the same:

```
    perl -MApp::Nopaste::Service::Gist -e 'App::Nopaste::Service::Gist->create_token'
```

You can also generate a token by navigating to \<https://github.com/settings/tokens\> and generate a new token with the 'Create gists' ability.

Then, export the resulting token as the the `"GITHUB_OAUTH_TOKEN"` environment variable.  This will grant gist rights to App::Nopaste (or anything else that Don't worry, you can revoke access rights anytime from the GitHub profile settings.

Alternatively, you can export the `"GITHUB_USER"` and `"GITHUB_PASSWORD"` environment variables, just like for the gist \<https://github.com/defunkt/gist\> utility.

You can also simply store your credentials in plaintext in *~/.github* as in:

```
    login bob
    password ilikeducks
```

That's it!
