GraphGists¶
Gist are part of Github. Git focusses on the sharing of complete code-repositories. Gists on the other hand share texts, code snippets, etc… Gists are actually Git repositories, which means that you can fork or clone any gist, even if you aren’t the original author. You can also view a gist’s full commit history, including diffs.
Neo4j came up with its own contribution : GraphGists. Users around the world share their work on Neo4j.
