I manage an organization https://github.com/marklogic. I see we actually have one gist under https://gist.github.com/marklogic/ ; I can't figure out how to get any more gists there though. Is there a way?

I don't think you can currently create gists as an organization account, but in my experience, if your account was a personal account and you created a gist under that account and then upgraded the account to an organization account, the gist stays but no new gists can be created.

Also, seems like this answer on WebApps confirms my experience.

    What's weird is that we do seem to have one gist under ouir org so we managed, at least once, to do this. See https://gist.github.com/marklogic – Eric Bloch Dec 22 '13 at 16:20

    @EricBloch that org account must have been an individual account earlier on. You can always convert an individual account to an org account and the gists will stay there. – Alessandro Cosentino Jun 01 '16 at 12:37

    I'm contemplating just using the wiki for code snippets that belong to the organisation, or even to the individual repositories for that organisation. – Kokodoko Aug 23 '17 at 09:59
