How do I get the raw version of a gist from github?

Question

I need to load a shell script from a raw gist but I can't find a way to get raw URL.

curl -L address-to-raw-gist.sh | bash 

Answer 1

And yet there is, look for the raw button (on the top-right of the source code).

The raw URL should look like this:

https://gist.githubusercontent.com/{user}/{gist_hash}/raw/{commit_hash}/{file} 

Note: it is possible to get the latest version by omitting the {commit_hash} part, as shown below:

https://gist.githubusercontent.com/{user}/{gist_hash}/raw/{file} 

Answer 2

February 2014: the raw url just changed.
See "Gist raw file URI change":

The raw host for all Gist files is changing immediately.
This change was made to further isolate user content from trusted GitHub applications.

The new host is

 https://gist.githubusercontent.com.  

Existing URIs will redirect to the new host.

Before it was https://gist.github.com/<username>/<gist-id>/raw/...

Now it is https://gist.githubusercontent.com/<username>/<gist-id>/raw/...

For instance:

https://gist.githubusercontent.com/VonC/9184693/raw/30d74d258442c7c65512eafab474568dd706c430/testNewGist

KrisWebDev adds in the comments:

If you want the last version of a Gist document, just remove the <commit>/ from URL
