    # Transfer a gist to a GitHub repository

    ##### clone the gist
    `git clone https://gist.github.com/ishu3101/6fb35afd237e42ef25f9`

    ##### rename the directory
    `mv 6fb35afd237e42ef25f9 ConvertTo-Markdown`

    ##### change the working directory to the newly renamed directory
    `cd ConvertTo-Markdown`

    ##### create a new repository on github

    ##### add the github repository as a remote to your checked out gist repository
    `git remote add github https://github.com/ishu3101/ConvertTo-Markdown`

    ##### push to the new repository on github
    `git push github master`

    ##### rename the remote of gist
    `git remote rename origin gist`

    ##### Each time you make changes (or pull changes from github/gist), you can do

    git push gist master # To gist
    ```

    This will also push back your changes to the gist and not only the github repo.
