<p>A sidebar widget to display your public gists from GitHub. Allows for optional display of creation date and link back to your GitHub profile page. Uses v3 of the GitHub API.</p>
<h3>Potential Enhancements</h3>
<p>I plan on including the Transients API in an upcoming release…once I figure out exactly how they work. Otherwise, feel free to suggest.</p>

<p>This project is available for forking on GitHub:</p>
<ul>
<li>https://github.com/dflydev/embed-github-gist</li>
</ul>
<p>Embed <a href="http://github.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub</a> <a href="http://gist.github.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Gists</a> into<br />
WordPress. Provides a shortcode for posts and pages but also has the ability<br />
to embed by hand in the event that a Gist needs to be embedded somewhere in<br />
the page that does not pass through the shortcode filters.</p>
<p>Examples:</p>
<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>
<p>Cache is implemented with the Transients API to minimize delay on loading<br />
content. Default TTL (time to live) is 86400 seconds or one day.</p>
<h4>Upcoming features:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Option for setting default TTL</li>
<li>Option to bypass cache entirely</li>
<li>Implement admin interface to control options</li>
</ul>
