Details

gist_save: files are written into a new folder, named by the gist id, e.g., a65ac7e56b7b3f746913

gist_open: opens files in your editor/R GUI. Internally, uses file.edit() to open files, using getOption("editor") to open the files. If you're in R.app or RStudio, or other IDE's, files will open in the IDE (I think).
