title: How do I clone a gist using https:// instead of git://
body: <p>At my office we are not able to connect to github using git:// urls. For the regular repositories we just juse the https:// url and we're fine.</p>
  
  <p>For gist there does not appear to be a way to access the gist via an https:// url.</p>
  
  <p>BTW, I cannot seem to find any github documentation about gist ... I recall reading a page on github(?) about gist, but for the life of me I cannot find anything on the site itself that documents gist ... of course google is useless as gist show up everywhere ... but no documentation links:(</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
