How to search my own Gists

Gists.md

Link to search your gists.

https://gist.github.com/search?q=user%3A%40me&ref=searchresults
Uses @me to refer to itself in the gist search query.

Manually

Type this into Github Gist Search (https://gist.github.com/)

user:BoQsc  your search query

or

@BoQsc  your search query

Custom link and username.

https://gist.github.com/search?q=user:boqsc&ref=searchresults
Replace ?q=user:boqsc with your own username.

Hit the same wall. 500 gists over the years and no way to find anything. GitHub search doesn't index gists, and gh gist list --include-content --filter is ~30s on my account, because it's serial API calls.

I scratched it: https://github.com/mattheworiordan/gistgrep -> Local mirror, incremental sync, fzf TUI with ranked previews, and on-device AI summaries via Apple Intelligence.

Search is now sub-100ms once synced

`brew install mattheworiordan/tap/gistgrep`. macOS only right now (the summary bit uses FoundationModels). Happy to add a Linux port via Ollama if there's interest, please do raise an issue. I hope my little project helps!

Thanks for sharing, will try it.
At the same time, you also can try Gistpad in VS Code and Gisto in Windows (and macOS?)

Just Google search the names.
