GithubGist je mesto, kjer lahko ustvarite zasebno ali javno bistvo, tj. shranite svoje datoteke zasebno ali javno. Predpostavimo scenarij, v katerem ste napisali lepo število bistev za svoj projekt in želite prenesti nabor le-teh. Edini način, kako lahko to storite z GithubGist je odpreti vsako posamezno bistvo za prenos ZIP ali kloniranje prek HTTP ali SSH. Ta članek govori o poenostavitvi zgornje naloge. S spodnjimi ukazi lahko celo prenesete bistvo drugih uporabnikov githuba, razen zasebnih, dokler ne poznate njihovega gesla. Uporabljali bomo zahteve paket za ta predlog. To je odličen paket za pošiljanje zahtev HTTP z minimalno kodo. Namestitev 1. Prenesite paket iz PyPI prek terminala z uporabo pip3 Sintaksa:
