# Init Gists via Git
Opengist allows you to create new snippets via Git over HTTP.
Opengist allows you to create new snippets via Git over HTTP. You can create gists with either auto-generated URLs or custom URLs of your choice.
Simply init a new Git repository where your file(s) is/are located:

git commit -m "My cool snippet"
```
Then add this Opengist special remote URL and push your changes:
### Option A: Regular URL
Create a gist with a custom URL using the format `http://opengist.url/username/custom-url`, where `username` is your authenticated username and `custom-url` is your desired gist identifier.
The gist must not exist yet if you want to create it, otherwise you will just push to the existing gist.
```shell
git remote add origin http://localhost:6157/init
git remote add origin http://opengist.url/thomas/my-custom-gist
git push -u origin master
```
Log in with your Opengist account credentials, and your snippet will be created at the specified URL:
**Requirements for custom URLs:**
- The username must match your authenticated username
- URL format: `http://opengist.url/username/custom-url`
- The custom URL becomes your gist's identifier and title
- `.git` suffix is automatically removed if present
### Option B: Init endpoint
Use the special `http://opengist.url/init` endpoint to create a gist with an automatically generated URL:
```shell
Username for 'http://localhost:6157': thomas
Password for 'http://thomas@localhost:6157':
git remote add origin http://opengist.url/init
git push -u origin master
```
## Authentication
When you push, you'll be prompted to authenticate:
```shell
Username for 'http://opengist.url': thomas
Password for 'http://thomas@opengist.url': [your-password]
