I’d like to describe simple steps regarding integrating GitHub Gists in Eclipse.

There are several sources which provoke me to do this:

• GitHub Mylyn connector for Eclipse
• EGit/GitHub/User Guide
• http://eclipse.github.com

I’ve been using Eclipse Java EE destibution, Mylyn plugin has been already installed there:

That’s it.

PS. Please note I’ve excluded such common sense steps as providing credentials for your GitHub account.
