Question

At my office we are not able to connect to github using git:// urls. For the regular repositories we just juse the https:// url and we’re fine.

For gist there does not appear to be a way to access the gist via an https:// url.

BTW, I cannot seem to find any github documentation about gist … I recall reading a page on github(?) about gist, but for the life of me I cannot find anything on the site itself that documents gist … of course google is useless as gist show up everywhere … but no documentation links:(

Thanks in advance.

I only fing a way to get the raw file(s) through http :

GET http://gist.github.com/raw/:gist_id/:filename

found on the gist API page of github:

http://develop.github.com/p/gist.html (archived copy)
