Fast, simple and super awesome Gist-ing for Vim.

## Dependencies
- https://github.com/defunkt/gist.git - "Potentially the best command line gister"

Install and configure it by running:

    [sudo] gem install gist && gist --login

## Usage
Only breathing is easier than using Fist of Vim.

Fist of Vim defines these super simple mappings by default:

1. <leader>p - Create a new Gist

2. <leader>u - Update an existing Gist

3. <leader>l - List your public Gists

You can use create or update a Gist with a visual selection, or in normal mode,
in which case, it is motion based.

For example, in normal mode, <leader>pG will create a new Gist from the
cursor to the end of file. In visual mode, you can simply select and then hit
<leader>p to create a new Gist.

Fist of Vim also sets the filetype and syntax completely automatically without
you having to set it!

As the philosopher, Staples Inc., once said, "That was easy!"

### Custom Maps
Fist of Vim allows you to choose the Fist to hold the gavel with. In other
words, you can assign your own maps for these:

1. <plug>fov_new           - Create a new Gist (normal mode)

2. <plug>fov_update       - Update a Gist (normal mode)

3. <plug>fov_visual_new    - Create a new Gist (visual mode)

4. <plug>fov_visual_update - Update a Gist (visual mode)

5. <plug>fov_list          - List your Gists.

Example: nmap <leader>f <plug>fov_new.

### Configuration
Fist of Vim offers these hilariously named variables so it can be configured to your exacting standards:

1. g:fist_opens_browser - Open the new/updated Gist in the browser.

2. g:fist_in_private    - Create a secret Gist

3. g:fist_no_maps       - Don't define any mappings automatically.

4. g:fist_dispatch      - When listing Gists, do it asynchronously (requires dispatch.vim from https://github.com/tpope/vim-dispatch)
