Work with 'GitHub' 'Gists'

Work with 'GitHub' 'gists' from 'R' (e.g., < https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GitHub#Gist>, < https://docs.github.com/en/github/writing-on-github/creating-gists/>). A 'gist' is simply one or more files with code/text/images/etc. This package allows the user to create new 'gists', update 'gists' with new files, rename files, delete files, get and delete 'gists', star and 'un-star' 'gists', fork 'gists', open a 'gist' in your default browser, get embed code for a 'gist', list 'gist' 'commits', and get rate limit information when 'authenticated'. Some requests require authentication and some do not. 'Gists' website: < https://gist.github.com/>.
