Ability to Group Github Gists

See original GitHub issue

Github Gist does not support folders. However, we can consider setting tags in the description of a Gist, which could be used to create a grouping in vscode.

An application like lepton appends #thistag to the description of the gist.

Suggestions: Option 1: use [#tag1, #tag2] at the beginning of the description Option 1: use #thistag1 appended at the end of the description of a gist

Just shipped an update that allows you to append tags to the end of the description (#tag-name), which will group your gists by that tag when grouping is enabled (per the screenshot above). You can add as many tags to a gist as you like, and the gist will be listed within all of those groups.

I’m going to close this issue as resolved, but please let me know if you have any feedback/issues at all 👍

Hey all! As an update, I just shipped support for grouping gists by “type”. This should help clean up/organize your gists a lot, without needing to do anything extra (e.g. adding tags). I don’t think this replaces the need/value for arbitrary tags, but I wanted to share the update in the meantime.
