# 2011-07-09  代码段速记 gist.github.com

github最初的主要功能是类似sourceforge和google code的代码库存储发布，后来似乎开始往面向程序员的SNS方向发展。SourceForge这么多年了，没想到从git这样一个貌似很常见的版本版本管理工具的基础上，能够发展出这么多形形色色的功能。

最近又发现GitHub发布了gist.github.com，这是一个用来保存和发布代码片段的功能，每个代码片段都用一个git仓库管理，可以保存历史版本。也可以通过一个链接很方便的嵌入在Blog或网页中。这样一来，发布代码片段的时候，再也不用为了保持代码格式和语法高亮去费劲的调试CSS和插件了，而且可以很方便的进行代码段的更新和版本跟踪。如果能够加上tag或者分类的话，就更加完美了。

此外，如果使用Chrome浏览器，还有一个[GitHub Gist](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ppnkhbfageapcimnniepboocoaggcbbd?hl=zh-CN)插件可以用。
