The x dotnet tool [1] is just used for publishing (+ downloading) your directory to a gist (and does things like handling binary files + directories + ignores build folders, etc), but you can manually create the Gist yourself from https://gist.github.com + all the language examples are gists you can access from https://gist.github.com/<gist-id>
anybody know something similar that doesn't require .NET ? No offense, just not part of that ecosystem (yet).
