gist.linux-x64

Run C# code programs from GitHub gists.

Usage: [dnx] gist [--aot] [--alias ALIAS] <gistRef> [<appArgs>...]

Arguments:
    <GIST_REF>  Reference to gist file to run, with format owner/gist[@commit][:path]
                @commit optional gist commit (default: latest)
                :path optional path to file in gist (default: program.cs or first .cs file)

                Examples:
                * kzu/0ac826dc7de666546aaedd38e5965381                 (tip commit and program.cs or first .cs file)
                * kzu/0ac826dc7de666546aaedd38e5965381@d8079cf:run.cs  (explicit commit and file path)

                Can be an alias previously set with --alias.

    <appArgs>   Arguments passed to the C# program that is being run.

Options:
    --aot         (optional) Enable dotnet AOT defaults for run file.cs. Defaults to false.
    --alias ALIAS (optional) Assign an alias on first usage which can be used instead of the full ref.

The gist does not need to be public. In that case, the same authentication used by your local git will be used to access the gist, via the Git Credential Manager.

Example:

dnx gist kzu/52b115ce24c7978ddc33245d4ff840f5 dotnet rocks

View source gist:

#:package Spectre.Console@*

using Spectre.Console;

AnsiConsole.MarkupLine($"Hello world from [green]dnx[/] [yellow]gist[/] :rocket: [bold italic]{string.Join(' ', args)}[/]");

When running different files from the same repo+ref, the download will be performed only once. The last download etag is used to avoid downloading on each run.
