+Gists provide a simple way to share code snippets with others. Every gist is a Git repository, which means that it can be forked and cloned. {% ifversion not ghae %}If you are signed in to {% data variables.product.product_name %} when{% else %}When{% endif %} you create a gist, the gist will be associated with your account and you will see it in your list of gists when you navigate to your {% data variables.gists.gist_homepage %}.
 
 Gists can be {% ifversion ghae %}internal{% else %}public{% endif %} or secret. {% ifversion ghae %}Internal{% else %}Public{% endif %} gists show up in {% data variables.gists.discover_url %}, where {% ifversion ghae %}enterprise members{% else %}people{% endif %} can browse new gists as they're created. They're also searchable, so you can use them if you'd like other people to find and see your work.
