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.
<h3>Potential Enhancements</h3>
I plan on including the Transients API in an upcoming release…once I figure out exactly how they work. Otherwise, feel free to suggest.

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.
