I'm writing a tutorial for users of our API, and want to incorporate code snippets and complete files for example purposes. I can expose the entire directory structure as a git, for people to download; no problem. But I'd like to embed specific code on relevant pages in the way that I can via a gist.
I do that by copying each file into gist, pressing "embed", and copying the resulting link into my tutorial page.
However, it seems wasteful to have a git repo all set up with the full files, then have to duplicate it for each file. Is there a better way to do this?
(Alternatively, if there's a way to embed a reference to a specific file from a git, I could do that too--the use case here is to say, "here's the full sample file" so I'd be fine pulling it that way.)
Thanks.

On GitHub.com, navigate to the main page of the repository. Under your repository name, click Settings. Under "Danger Zone", click Transfer. Read the information about transferring a repository, then type the name of the user or organization you'd like to transfer ownership of the repository to.
You can use IntelliJ IDEA to create a local Git repository and then share the project on GitHub by going to VCS > Share project on GitHub in the menu. This displays the Share Project on GitHub dialog.
Gist is a simple way to share snippets and pastes with others. Whereas Repo is simply a place where the history of your work is stored.
We've always had the ability to embed multiple file gists: Your browser does not support IFrames But today we added the ability to embed specific files in a multi-file gist!… But today we added the ability to embed specific files in a multi-file gist! Enjoy!

GitHub have this on their "list" but we don't know when it will happen.
