Allowing a reader to annotate my gist with feedback - github

I'd like to create a gist of some ruby code of mine, for example with github, and then share it with a reviewer who will then be able to annotate lines with their code review notes. Is there a way to do this? I could not find it...

I was looking for something similar and found this: http://hpaste.org/
There you can paste your file contents, people can put comments in in it, you can view the diff etc.
It is not using github, but since you said "for example", maybe this is an option, too?
Hope this helps :)

You could try the CodeReview StackExchange; it's made for this sort of thing.

What are the differences between Github Gists and Pastebin?

I have not used either of them till yet. I looked at their websites and found their brief descriptions:
Github Gist:
Instantly share code, notes, and snippets.
Pastebin:
Pastebin is a website where you can store any text online for easy sharing. The website is mainly used by programmers to store pieces of sources code or configuration information, but anyone is more than welcome to paste any type of text. The idea behind the site is to make it more convenient for people to share large amounts of text online.
Apart from the explicit mentioning of "anyone is welcome to paste any type of text" in Pastebin's description, I see no difference in what they are used for.
I'd appreciate if someone could point me the differences between them.
Gists are way more 'advanced', since Pastebin is very simple and user-friendly.
At very least, gists are used to be shared mostly with coworkers, while pastebin is heavily being used for wide-usage or for private usage.

Filter recent entries in emacs dashboard

When using dashboard (https://melpa.org/#/dashboard) in emacs, how can I set it up so that it ignores directories or filenames matching a pattern like .gitignore ?
For example by default it shows ~/.emacs.d/elpa/*
The emacs community is friendly... but probably not as helpful as they could be. You could try filing a GitHub issue with the dashboard developer (here: https://github.com/rakanalh/emacs-dashboard/issues). If you ever did figure out a fix for your own issue, I bet the dashboard maintainer would be glad to hear about it.
Avoid plugins. Help on opensource plugins is minimal if you are not comfortable with developer jargon, politics and technical skills to understand the source code.
Just wait and see for yourselves - the emacs tag has 5.4K watchers, on average you get about <20 views per question, when do you think the question will be answered ?
Semantics aside, the suggestion is to just use the built in bookmarks feature.

Edit an another's plugin

I have a plugin's resource codes and I want to edit. Because I want to change plugin's prefix but it isn't possible unless edit plugin. I tried edit with Eclipse but I had a lot of errors.
If you have source codes of some plugins, there meight be a problem, that they are using some api for example WorldEdit api, but you don't have it added in your project. You have to look into code and find out what they use. Then download the api and add it in Build Path - Right Click the project->Build bath->add external Jars. I hope this will help.
You may be getting errors from imports, API's, etc.
The best way to change this is to contact the developer of the plugin, who has the project themselves. It's not a good idea to change code unless you have full permission; but I will still tell you some possible ways to fix it.
Your imports may be faulty, check those.
Actually REVIEW the code yourself– Don't mess around with things you don't know what they do.
CHANGE YOUR PACKAGE NAMES (This got me before, simple mistake)
If there are comments in the code, use those to your advantage
Google your errors.
If you are new to Java, don't skip to changing code already. TRUST ME. Learn all you can before skipping to other "higher level" developer styles.
Like I said, these are vague and simple ways to fix it; the best way to have your feature implemented is to contact the developer.
*I understand that this thread is old; I'm just saying this because there are currently no answers that describe this for other Google travelers of the internet.

Copy of existing Plunkr

Today, i found one interesting plunker, after alot of searching on google found nothing, hope here i will find my answer. i juts want a copy of that plunker. i don't wanna use copy and paste technique. is there any method to get copy of well established plunk ? how can i copy whole existing plunker to my new plunker ?
i did use `Fork` option of the plunker but not satisfied.
any help would be appreciated.
Plunker does not provide this mechanism on purpose. You can, of course, recreate a plunk by manually copying and pasting. However, Plunker is designed as a community and forking is a mechanism to show attribution and track the origins of code.

Versioned cloud-based social code snippet management

It seems a lot to ask, but I'm looking for a cloud-based solution to managing code snippets. I am looking for:
Tags
User accounts (I want to be able to see all of my snippets on a single page)
syntax highlighting
versioning - myself or others should be able to edit my snippets to improve them and have revisions save so that I can go back and use an older version if I prefer.
straightforward UI with minimal advertising if any
Does anyone know of a solution which meets these requirements? If not, would anyone be interested in something like this? As a software engineer, after step zero (does it already exist), I'm perfectly willing to go onto step 1 (would other people use it? If so, make it).
www.codebarrel.com
it has everything you asked for
Sounds like Gist.
http://gist.github.com/
Except for the tags part. But it might be workable anyway.
I'm working on a site for this. The very rough (as in: barely works, but not even functional yet) initial version is here: https://github.com/jasongrout/snippets
