Usage

Step 1: Obtain a PAT

Obtain a personal access token (PAT) with the gist scope. (Use the 'Tokens (classic)' option in the interface).

Step 2: Save your PAT

After installing the extension, you can click the extension icon to save your PAT.

Step 3: Save your conversation

When you are ready to save your conversation, click on the share button with the github icon.

NOTE: You must refresh the page after loading or receiving new responses before using the buttons. This ensures the extension captures all conversation data properly.

The extension adds two buttons to the Gemini interface in the navbar that are very subtle:

• Share (share icon): Saves your conversation to a GitHub Gist, this looks like the share icon elsewhere in the app.
• Copy (clipboard icon): Copies the conversation in Markdown format to your clipboard, this looks like the copy button elsewhere in the app.

See this video for a demo.

If you have saved your PAT correctly, a new tab will open with a gist containing your conversation. You can inspect the logs by clicking on the extension icon and scrolling down to logs to check if there are any issues with your PAT.
