gists function

List gists

List public gists, your own public gists, all your gists, by gist id, or query by date.

gists(what = "public", since = NULL, page = NULL, per_page = 30, ...)

Arguments

• what: (character) What gists to return. One of public, minepublic, mineall, or starred. If an id is given for a gist, this parameter is ignored.
• since: (character) A timestamp in ISO 8601 format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ. Only gists updated at or after this time are returned.
• page: (integer) Page number to return.
• per_page: (integer) Number of items to return per page. Default 30. Max 100.
• ...: Curl options passed on to verb-GET

Details

When what = "mineall", we use getOption("github.username") internally to get your GitHub user name. Make sure to set your GitHub user name as an R option like options(github.username = "foobar") in your .Rprofile file. If we can't find you're user name, we'll stop with an error.
