A simple WordPress plugin that adds a gist shortcode for getting a single Gist and the files within. It uses the Gist V3 API. Has the option for authentication via Personal Access Token.
Usage 
Get a Gist using a WordPress shortcode: <code>[gist id=00000000 file=file-name.php]</code>
The Gist will return as plain text. I recommend using WordPress plugin Syntaxhighlighter Evolved to highlight the Gist. See below for details.
Visit [Get Gist on Github](http://https://github.com/kopepasah/get-gist “Get Gist”) for more options and information.

It’s simple enough to embed a Gist, but the default embedded Gist behavior isn’t as easy to read as it could be. I’ve added line numbers and alternating line colors in order to give the gist maximum readability.
Use
<ul>
<li>You can use the shortcode [pretty_gist id=”gist_id“] to embed the pretty gist directly into a post</li>
<li>You have the option to change the default colors in Settings > Pretty Gists</li>
</ul>

Pretty Gists

Gives you the ability to add Github Gists to your site decorated with line numbes and alternating line color.
