How can you create GitHub gists that live under an organization account instead of a personal account?

gist

I manage an organization https://github.com/marklogic. I see we actually have one gist under https://gist.github.com/marklogic/ ; I can't figure out how to get any more gists there though. Is there a way?

How do I link my GitHub account to my organization?

Inviting a user to join your organizationIn the top right corner of GitHub.com, click your profile photo, then click Your organizations. Click the name of your organization. Under your organization name, click People. On the People tab, click Invite member.

Are GitHub gists private?

Secret gists aren't private. If you send the URL of a secret gist to a friend, they'll be able to see it. However, if someone you don't know discovers the URL, they'll also be able to see your gist. If you need to keep your code away from prying eyes, you may want to create a private repository instead.

Is GitHub free for organization?

You can use organizations for free, with GitHub Free, which includes limited features on private repositories.

I don't think you can currently create gists as an organization account, but in my experience, if your account was a personal account and you created a gist under that account and then upgraded the account to an organization account, the gist stays but no new gists can be created.

Also, seems like this answer on WebApps confirms my experience.

Hope this helps
