What are the differences between this and the more common client [1]? This seems to support a subset of the functionality.

I was going to ask the same. I usually just pipe my content to the gist command/tool.

to be honest, I was not aware of that piece of software.

One features of my client that I prefer is the auto-copy to clipboard. gist does look nice though.

Is there a way to specify which account the gist should go to? Many people have more than one github account (personal, client1, client2, etc.).

currently, no. that would be a simple addition though.

Why don't you show the full help message when the command is run without options?

any reason you choose bitbucket over github? just curious...

I originally started the project on bitbucket, and never ended up moving it to github. I should probably do that, seeing as it is targeted to a github project.
