In the last year I have developed a strong interest in simracing as a hobby. We are currently living in a golden age of simulated racing with many great sim titles to choose from, but my preferred one is the iRacing simulator.

Alongside iRacing’s official matchmaking races there exists a large and healthy ecosystem of community-operated league races. These leagues run the spectrum from extremely competitive to very, very casual. Toward the latter end of that spectrum is the 24 Hour of Lemons community, an iRacing league that accompanies the US-based motorsport series of the same name in which people race cars worth no more than $500 for as many laps as they can.

tl;dr Every Github Gist can be accessed as a Git repository over either HTTPS via their URL or via SSH using the keys you have registered with Github.

I enjoy using gists to share example code but when multiple files are necessary it can be very cumbersome to copy and paste them one at a time and re-create their metadata. Instead I create an otherwise empty gist, clone it locally, and then edit the files or git add them as I would any other repository before committing and sharing the contents.
