This is an example of an Apify actor that is stored as GitHub Gist. Gists are useful if your actor has multiple source code files but you don't want to create a full Git repository for it or don't want to host your source files directly on Apify. All files of this Gist are provided under Apache 2.0 license.
Whenever you edit the Gist, you'll need to rebuild the actor.
