<li>https://github.com/dflydev/embed-github-gist</li>
</ul>
Embed <a href="http://github.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub</a> <a href="http://gist.github.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Gists</a> into 
WordPress. Provides a shortcode for posts and pages but also has the ability 
to embed by hand in the event that a Gist needs to be embedded somewhere in 
the page that does not pass through the shortcode filters.
Examples:
<pre><code>[gist id=546764]
[gist id=546764 file=file.txt]
[gist id=546764 file=file.txt bump=1]
[gist]http://gist.github.com/546764[/gist]
</code></pre>
