Github gist editing without changing URL
Gist changed the path to this file pattern:
https://gist.github.com/<USER_NAME>/<GIST_ID>/raw/<GIST_REVISION_ID>/<GIST_FILE_NAME>You will notice that now the top answers' links are 404'ing.
Simply apply this new pattern and voilà!
https://gist.github.com/<USER_NAME>/<GIST_ID>/raw/<GIST_FILE_NAME>For instance:
https://gist.githubusercontent.com/wesbos/cd16b8b1815825f111a2/raw/lol.js
In case of gist,https://raw.github.com/gist/[gist_id] ORhttps://gist.github.com/[user_name]/[gist_id]/raw(which is more likely to be an unique URI.)
returns first file from the gist.
For gist with multiple files,https://raw.github.com/gist/[gist_id]/[file_name]
The url works even when you change the filename.
e.g. https://raw.github.com/gist/4636655https://raw.github.com/gist/4636655/imdb-getglue.js
Just add /raw to the end of your gist url.
https://gist.github.com/--user--/--id--/rawThis links to the latest revision of that file.
After updating the gist file, changes are reflected after a minute or two.
