Download, Revise, Upload Github Gists with R

I often find myself writing my R code in Rstudio and manually copying/pasting the code to a gist at gist.github.com.

I think Rstudio is great and they recently incorporated version control capabilities. I haven't quite graduated to this level just yet, but I am hoping that I could link my github account and manage my gists in the same way. This would remove the manual actions that I take to save and retrieve my code snippets.

The key is that I want to be able to access my code across multiple locations and need to keep some of my code private.

Is this possible? Any help is greatly appreciated.

You may find the gistr package useful. You can read an introduction and see examples here. Also, even shorter than the intro and examples here is a 2015 stack overflow answer from the gistr package creator.

In regard to the private repos I think github only supports private repositories for paying users. If you want free private repositories, you could take a look at bitbucket which supports both Mercurial and Git repositories.
