Managing and viewing branches in a GIST

Question

I created a gist and cloned it locally where I am happily managing it. I also created a development branch and committed/pushed it (mainly as an exercise to understand git). I can see and manage all of this using posh~git locally, but I can't find any trace of the new branch in my gists at https://gist.github.com or in my git repo's.

Is this a basic (and understandable) limitation of the gist interface or is there a way to select branches on a gist?

My motivation is to share rendered the gists using references to the included assets.

Answer 1

This is a limitation of gist.github.com. If you need to use other features, make it an ordinary repo under github.com instead of a gist.

I am not aware of any feature that gist has that ordinary repos do not have.
