Usage

ghs [<user>/]<gist>

for example: ghs flexwie/test.sh. If no username is provided, the currently logged in user will be assumed.

Executors

Executors handle different gist types and languages and are mostly used for languages, that can't be invoked with a shebang (Go for example). Currently, there are two executors: one for shebang-style scripts and one for Go scripts.
