Gists provide a simple way to share code snippets (in this case, notes) with others. Every gist is a Git repository, which means that it can be forked and cloned. If you are signed in to GitHub when you create a gist, the gist will be associated with your account and you will see it in your list of gists when you navigate to your gist home page. ↩︎
One small suggestion (and I realize it may be too late) would be to name it either "Publish to Gist" or "Gist publsiher". Even having just installed it, when I went to try to find it on the plugin page I didn't think to look for it under "Joplin". Every plugin is for Joplin.
Anyway, this is a great plugin. Thanks so much for making it!
I can remove the "Joplin" part if that helps. The reason I didn't call it something with Gist, is that I may expand it to publish to other services, like gitlab, or pastebin or whatever too.
Using it more a use-case that's very previous to me is revisions. Since the plugin updates the gist, you now get a nice git diff with differences from the different versions. It's a bit easier to deal with than the built-in Note History
I've been using Joplin on Windows, Android, Linux, ChromeOS for about a month now.
I'm currently a paid subscriber to Evernote, and if I switch over to Joplin I still want the ability to publish notes to the web and I came across your plugin which looks like the perfect solution for me only I can't get the plug in to work. The "Publish note" option under note is grayed out and there is no GitHub icon to click on to publish anything.
I created the token and gave it all permissions and I still can't get in to Joplin to publish anything to my Gist.
I may have done something wrong only I don't know what.
I think @B0BIC is referring to selecting an actual notebook, rather than a single notebook.
I host my Joplin on my OneDrive and it would be awesome if somebody with developer skills that I certainly don't have could find a way to share a notebook with another person or place the same way that Joplin does it through their own cloud service just without having to use their cloud service.
I'm still very new to Joplin. I'm a long-term evernote user that is looking for an alternative to their rising prices.
I am embedding images in my Notebook Note, and as I push to Gist (which I love) it seems to not migrate the image. Any advice? I figured out that I can change the image manually from being a PNG to being a markdown image with a data:uri, but it seems that Github doesn't present embedded data:uri images. Thoughts?

It's in my todo list in the first post. Just didn't get around to it yet. partially because I need to write code to make a round trip to get the urls of the uploaded image paths and replace them in the original note. I also didn't have much of a personal use-case yet to do it, but I want to do it
