You can browse and open both your public and secrete gists. You can do so in either of the following two ways.

  • Click GistNote icon on Activity Bar
  • Execute GistNote: browse gists from Command Palette

Either of the above two operations brings up your gists on Side Bar. To inspect the content of a gist file, click the name of the file on Side Bar. This shows the file as a virtual document in Editor. Virtual documents are read-only. You CANNOT edit them.
