"Gist, GitHub's tool for saving snippets of code, has been rewritten\u00A0from scratch using &amp;quot;better libraries&amp;quot;\u00A0and GitHub's\u00A0styleguide, with the goal of making it easier than ever to share and discover code.\r\n\r\nOf the new features, GitHub has highlighted browsing and search functionality, an updated editor, revision history tracking and the ability to view forks by activity.\r\n\r\nMore specifically, you can now browse\u00A0new code on\u00A0Gist Discover and search by code language with\u00A0Gist Search. You'll also notice that Gist is now powered by\u00A0the Ace editor, which already powers GitHub's editor -- expect highlighted syntax and indentation aware editing.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nLastly, you can now view the history of every Gist, and track Gist forks by activity, which makes it &amp;quot;easier to find interesting changes from coworkers or complete strangers.&amp;quot; Here's an example of a Gist, in case it's foreign to you:\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u27A4 Gist\r\n\r\nRecently, GitHub has experienced a number of service outages, and two months ago, the company released its new Mac app and a training site, with the goal of teaching others about collaborative coding.\r\n\r\nImage credit: TIM BRAKEMEIER / Getty Images"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
