Is there a way to find a Gist from the name (or description)?
I was watching a YouTube video discussion and one of the participants brought up a Gist. It was too small to read on the video, but the name at the top was clear (dhh/test_induced_design_damage.rb); however, I wasn't able to use that name to find the Gist. (Eventually I found a raw link on a Twitter feed, with a 20-digit hex number. The Gist is public.) I later tried several different searches to see if there was a way I could find it by name, and I tried looking in Github's Help, but I couldn't find a way. Did I miss something, or is there just no way to do this?
If you know the username you can go to https://gist.github.com/username/ and then search through them, but that only works if it's not an anonymously posted or private gist. There's not a nice way to get to a Gist unless you've got the link if you don't know who posted it.
In your case, the Gist is available as the first one at the moment under https://gist.github.com/dhh.
