GIST Slides

There are three ways to embed code within a GitPitch presentation:

1. Use Markdown Code Blocks
2. Use GitPitch GIST Slides
3. Use GitPitch Image Slides

This page introduces GitPitch GIST Slides, a feature powered by standard Markdown but unique to GitPitch. GitHub GIST are a fantastic way to share code, notes, and snippets. Now GIST can also be used as a great building block when building GitPitch presentations.

To embed a GitHub GIST within a slide in a GitPitch presentation you simply need to specify the unique GIST identifier when declaring a slide delimiter in your PITCHME.md markdown file. For example, here is an example of a GIST Slide that displays a snippet of Groovy code:

#HSLIDE?gist=cf4227416b55dac54a53

GIST can be embedded within horizontal and vertical slides in a GitPitch presentation. The following example demonstrates a vertical GIST slide that displays a snippet of Scala code:

#VSLIDE?gist=28ee3d19ddef9d51b15adbdfe9ed48da

Using GIST Slides, GitPitch developers enjoy all of the benefits of GitHub GIST, including 100% reusable code snippets, excellent syntax highlighting, code indentation and styling.

The GitPitch GIST feature is available to all GitPitch slideshow presentations, regardless of hosting on GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket.
