This is a simple python script that I put on a cron job to update GitHub gists. I use it to make sure that my vs code settings and window terminal settings are backed up.

If you want to use this script for yourself all you need to do is create a gists.json file in the data folder with the following schema:

[
    {
        "gist_id": "abcdefghikl123456789",
        "file": "/path/to/file.ext"
    },
    {
        "gist_id": "abcdefghikl123456789",
        "file": "/path/to/file.ext"
    },
    {
        "gist_id": "abcdefghikl123456789",
        "file": "/path/to/file.ext"
    }
]

Create a .env file in the root folder with GITHUB_TOKEN={{YOUR TOKEN}} and make sure your token has the gists scope.

I have this script log the results of each run to gists_uploads.logs.
