save typescripts as Github gists

Automatically wrangle /usr/bin/script files onto Github. Handy for recording install sessions.

function scripto() {
 # Sane API token?
 curl -Insw "%{http_code}" https://api.github.com/user | tail -1 | grep -q 200 || (echo "Can't reach API" && return 1)

 # Instance a gist and clone it
 GISTID=$(curl -nksd '{"files":{"sfile":{"content":"scriptfile in-flight"}}}' https://api.github.com/gists | awk -F"\"" '2ドル == "id" {print 4ドル}' | head -1);
 git clone -q "https://gist.github.com/"$GISTID".git" ~/$GISTID &>/dev/null;

 # API and gist can use the same token but use different addresses, check we can push back a complete gist
 if (cd ~/$GISTID && git push &>/dev/null || return 2)
 then
 script -qf ~/$GISTID/sfile && (cd ~/$GISTID && git add * && git commit -m "." && git push origin && rm -rf ~/$GISTID/.git ~/$GISTID/sfile && rmdir ~/$GISTID);
 curl -nks -X PATCH -d '{ "files":{ "sfile": { "filename":"'$(hostname)' typescript"}}}' https://api.github.com/gists/$GISTID >/dev/null
 else
 echo "No token for gist.github.com"
 rm -rf ~/$GISTID/.git ~/$GISTID/sfile && rmdir ~/$GISTID
 fi
}

#bash

#github

#gist
