## Description

A simple WordPress plugin that adds a gist shortcode for getting a single Gist and
the files within. It uses the Gist V3 API. Has the option for authentication via
Personal Access Token.

**Usage**
 Get a Gist using a WordPress shortcode: `[gist id=00000000 file=file-
name.php]`

The Gist will return as plain text. I recommend using WordPress plugin Syntaxhighlighter
Evolved to highlight the Gist. See below for details.

Visit [Get Gist on Github](http://https://github.com/kopepasah/get-gist “Get Gist”)

## Installation

 1. Upload `get-gist` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
