Visual Studio 2012 - Import/Export GitHub Gists

Question

I came accross the following post: Sexy Code Snippet Management With Gists by Jeffrey Way describing how to manage and share snippets using GitHub from within Sublime Text 2.

He uses a plugin to easily import and export Gists from GitHub.

I want to do the same in VS2012, but don't find a plugin or solution to do this. There is Gister which allows one to create Gists but it does not do any importing.

Does anyone know of another plugin or similar solution to do this?

Answer 1

For importing gists into Visual Studio, keep in mind that every gist is a normal git repository. As a result, you should be able to use a plugin like Visual Studio Tools for Git to clone the Git repo of a gist.

As you mentioned in your question, you should be able to use Gister for other gist-related features.
