title: How to convert files in GitHub repository to a Gist
body: <p>What I would like to do is the inverse of <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13671328/transfer-gist-repo-to-github">this question</a>.  I have a folder within a GitHub repo that contains a d3 visualization that I would like to continue making changes to.  It would be nice to have a "gist" version of this repo to display the visualization on bl.ocks.org that I could push changes to when from the primary repo after I am happy with them.</p>
  
  <p>Another similar question is <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16840768/make-gist-from-github-repo-for-display-on-bl-ocks-org">here</a>, but the answers describe the step gist -> bl.ocks.org.  I am unsure of the step githup repo -> gist.  What is the best way to accomplish this?</p>
