Gist Snippet downloads statistics

Gist Snippet turns GitHub Gist into a first-class code snippet manager inside your IDE. Stop tab-switching to gist.github.com — browse, search, edit, and insert your gists from a sidebar tree, then drop them straight into the editor at the cursor.

Who it's for: developers who already use Gist to stash reusable snippets — regex cheatsheets, SQL queries, config templates, code samples — and want them one click away inside IntelliJ-based IDEs.

Free

• Persistent tool window — your own gists in a sidebar tree, always one click away • Preview & insert — click a file to preview, then insert at cursor or copy to clipboard • Full CRUD — create, edit, and delete gists from the IDE; no browser round-trip • Add Gist from editor — right-click selected text in the editor, project view, or console to turn it into a gist instantly • Filter & search — public/secret filter, tag filter, and full-text search across title, description, filename, and content • Offline cache & auto-sync — incremental background sync (GitHub's since parameter) keeps the list fresh without blocking the UI; works offline against the local cache

Pro

• Commit history & compare — browse a gist's full revision history inside the IDE and diff any past revision against the current version (the diff GitHub's web UI doesn't give you) • Starred gists — browse and insert from the gists you've starred on GitHub

Requirements

• IntelliJ-based IDE, version 2023.1 or later • Built-in GitHub plugin enabled • At least one GitHub account configured under Settings → Version Control → GitHub
