GitHub Gist is a service provided by GitHub that allows users to share code snippets, notes, and other text-based content. It supports both public and private gists, enabling easy sharing and collaboration.
Check if the authenticated user has starred a specific gist. Returns True if the gist is starred, False if not starred or if the gist doesn't exist. This is a read-only, idempotent operation that requires authentication but no special permissions.
Tool to create a new gist with one or more files. Use when you need to create a code snippet or text file to share. Note: Do not name your files 'gistfile' with a numerical suffix.
Tool to create a comment on a gist. Use when you need to add a comment to an existing gist.
Delete a gist by ID. The result reports success for a 404 or 304 as well as a successful deletion, and reports a 403 as unsuccessful.
Delete a gist comment by gist ID and comment ID. The result reports success for a 404 as well as a successful deletion, and reports a 403 as unsuccessful.
Tool to fork a gist. Use when you need to create a copy of an existing gist under your own account.
Retrieve a gist by ID, including its file metadata and available contents. File contents or the file list may be truncated.
Tool to get a specific comment on a gist. Use when you need to retrieve details of a particular comment given gist_id and comment_id.
Tool to retrieve a specific gist revision. Use when you need details of a past state for an existing gist by commit SHA.
Tool to list comments on a gist. Use after confirming the gist_id to retrieve comments for a specific gist. Example: 'List comments for gist abc123'.
Tool to list the commit history of a gist. Use after you have the gist ID to review its revisions.

Tool to list public gists for a specified GitHub user. Use when you have a username and need their gists.
Star a GitHub gist. This operation is idempotent and will succeed even if the gist is already starred.
Unstar a GitHub gist. The operation is idempotent; a not-found response is also reported as success, so success does not establish that the gist existed.
Tool to update a gist's description and files. Use when you need to modify gist content, rename files, or delete files from a gist.
Tool to update a Gist comment. Updates an existing comment on a gist. You must be the author of the comment to update it.
The Gist integration connects your Dench AI CRM directly to Gist, so agents can read and act on your Gist data as part of everyday work — answering questions in chat, keeping your CRM in sync, and running automations without anyone copying data between tools.
20 actions are available for agents to invoke on your behalf. Every call runs through Gist's own authorization, scoped to the account you connect.
Sign in to your Dench workspace and open Integrations.

Ask an agent to use Gist in chat, or call it from an automation.
Manage or disconnect the connection any time from workspace settings.
