GitHub Gist Embedding

GitHub Gist Embedding allows code snippets stored on GitHub Gist to be displayed dynamically on external websites, such as blogs, without manually copying the source code into the site's HTML.^[600-developer-tools-frontend-test-tools.md]

Implementation

To embed a Gist, users can insert a specific <script> tag into their HTML content.^[600-developer-tools-frontend-test-tools.md] The browser then loads and renders the code snippet hosted on GitHub.^[600-developer-tools-frontend-test-tools.md]

The script format typically references the unique JavaScript file associated with the Gist.^[600-developer-tools-frontend-test-tools.md]

Example

The following syntax demonstrates how to embed a specific Gist using its ID:^[600-developer-tools-frontend-test-tools.md]
