Gist: How are images uploaded to a gist?

Question

Here is the image file: https://gist.github.com/mbostock/5503544#file-thumbnail-png

I tried to drag-and-drop the image file in the edit mode of a gist. That didn\'t

Answer 1

I was looking for answer for the same question, here is what I just found:

1. You can clone your gist as a git repository and add your picture, then push to origin. See loading-thumbnail-into-gist-for.

2. There is a script written to do this: hecticjeff/gist-img.

I have not tried the above solutions yet, but pretty sure they should work. I did try using defunkt/gist to update my gist with a png but ended up displaying a binary file in my gist.
