gist-dep is a command line tool that helps you share code between projects and developers. Written in Ruby but useful on any project. Common needs include JavaScript behavior and polyfills, Ruby monkey-patches and configuration code, etc. Whenever you have a bit of code you often use but it is too small/trivial to be managed as a full library gist-dep is an excellent alternative. Code snippets are stored on Github’s Gist system. The tool provides a quick way to add, update (both directions) and remove gists in a project.
