New version of github: gist
The Github team continues to delight us with their updates, and this time they invite us to try a fully updated github: gist .
For those who were not familiar with this service before - Gist is designed to exchange pieces of code (and not only code) between people. At the core of Gist is the git version control system, which makes possible collective work on the material, support forks and versioning.
Gist managed to become an indispensable tool in the arsenal of the Open Source community. For example, in such a simple way extends the performance patch for ruby, mentioned recently in Habré.
In fact, everything is new. The service code was written from scratch, using higher-quality libraries and the official style-guide . The interface has changed, it has become more convenient and more complete, and now it keeps pace with the functionality of the github itself.

In their blog, the developers listed the most important innovations.
It became easier to wander around the gist, study them and look for the necessary. It's nice that duplicates fell out of the issue, and the search engine itself took over the convenience of its big brother, which, by the way, is still undergoing various transformations from the github itself. But, as was rightly noted , the 21st century is in the yard, and the paginator has not yet been screwed up with loading the results with an Ajax.
Now Gist uses Ace . The choice is also inspired by recent changes from a big brother. Ace is a very nice code editor built into the Open Source browser. Companies like Firefox, Codecademy and Cloud9 IDE use it. Implemented drag'n'drop support.
I would not refuse to use it on the habr, by the way.
The process of viewing the history of an individual gist has become simple and straightforward. There is a normal diff, a full history of changes, a list of forks (although it was before, but it was redesigned).
It became much easier to follow the forks of the gist. Now you can find popular and active forks, look into them, see people in person, show yourself.
The list of innovations does not end there, but this is all that can be understood at first glance, guided only by an official blog post. The team is happy with the update and calls for the rest of the discoveries to be done independently. If you actively use this excellent service, and noticed something else - write in the comments, I will gladly supplement the post with your thoughts.

It became easier to wander around the gist, study them and look for the necessary.

Forks
It became much easier to follow the forks of the gist. Now you can find popular and active forks, look into them, see people in person, show yourself.
So what is next?
