+1 for the above.

only one branch exists (pre-push hook to block everything else)

In addition to this, IIRC, GH gists also use hooks to block binary files. Perhaps that is also something for us to consider

Edit: Also no folders are allowed either.

* show a tab with commits/revisions not with as list of commits but with a list of diff-views

I feel like this isn't even really necessary, myself. Certainly a nicety though.

So that we also need a new column in repository table named uuid.

So that we also need a new column in repository table named uuid.

We won't, as we can use repo_name with and populate it with uuid

URL: <base-url>/<user_or_organization>/gists/<uuid> (gists must be a blacklisted repo name)

Is it possible to implement anonymous code paste?
Like https://paste.ubuntu.com/

It seems that in the current design, an account must be logged in

Gists are a way to share information with one or a few files.

You want a pastebin-like service and there is another issue where this is discussed (#693).

Just close this and please discuss further in #693

@lunny did close old issue -> see reason - this proposal here is a better aproach and wont add much extra code etc ...
