Description
A sidebar widget to display your public gists from GitHub. Allows for optional display of creation date and link back to your GitHub profile page. Uses v3 of the GitHub API.
Potential Enhancements
I plan on including the Transients API in an upcoming release…once I figure out exactly how they work. Otherwise, feel free to suggest.
