The Gist of LaTeX

GitHub has just launched Gist, a Git driven pastebin service. It is very handy to have a lightweight public (or private) repository. From the GitHub blog (see also here), Bryan Liles demos Gist:

In the spirit of sharing, I have posted my LaTeX preamble and associated files. Feel free to download or clone these files, or better yet, post your own!

It is useful to independently maintain any LaTeX preambles you may use. Suppose, for example, you discover some need and make a corresponding change to your preamble. You might want that change available to some of your other LaTeX documents. Next time I will explain how to do this with include statements and git submodules.
