My Termtter plugin to post output as a gist.
Termtter is the best Twitter client I have ever used for the command line.
It was created by @jugyo and has many useful commands that let you perform common Twitter operations. The best introduction I found for this unique twitter client is the Rubyconf 2009 presentation by @ujm

I decided to create a simple plugin that adds a “gist” command in Termtter to run a command and then post the output to Gist (Github.com’s pastebin) The plugin uses @defunkt’s http://github.com/defunkt/gist and thus needs to be installed before the plugin works.
