Checkout github pull requests locally. GitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets.

The trick is to add one more fetch line to the [remote "origin"] sections in your .git/config files, as in the gist below.
fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/*
Which reminds me I should read more about that the fetch syntax which is called RefSpec: [WayBack] Git – The Refspec

There is also a great technical analysis at [Wayback/Archive.is] Analysis of the RIAA claims against youtube-dl · GitHub
This write-up follows the code paths in youtube-dl that get executed when you try to run it based on the claims of RIAA has put forward. This is a technical analysis, not a legal one.

Finding the github commit search page was not obvious to me as the main page only allows searching for repositories, and commit pages insides repositories do not have a search box:
Luckily there are two search pages that can search issues:
You can get to both by stumbling on [WayBack] About searching on GitHub – User Documentation, then clicking “Search using a visual interface”
The first search page has built-in help which I have included below, though not explaining how to search for commits which are in [WayBack] Searching commits – User Documentation, and certainly does not tell you need to add type=commitsto the search box.

[WayBack] RawGit: RawGit served raw files directly from GitHub with proper Content-Type headers.
This means you have to redirect your existing RawGit links before October 2019, and you cannot add new links on RawGit.
You might want to try alternatives, for instance this one I mentioned in 2017: raw.githack.com – like rawgit.com but supports bitbucket as well and runs on plain nginx.
raw.githack.com serves raw files directly from GitHub, Bitbucket or GitLab with proper Content-Type headers.
There are some other options that RawGit itself mentions:
What you should use instead
The following free services offer fantastic alternatives to some or all of RawGit’s functionality. You may like them even more than RawGit.
RawGit source is still at [WayBack] GitHub – rgrove/rawgit: Served files from raw.githubusercontent.com, but with the correct content types., so if you want to host your own alternative you can.
It means I need to change these pages:

When you search for git push "The requested URL returned error: 403", then the usual answer is “use ssh over https”, for instance at [WayBack] github – Pushing to Git returning Error Code 403 fatal: HTTP request failed – Stack Overflow.
However, lots of places (especially larger corporations and financials) limit outgoing traffic to http and https based for (often perceived) security reasons.
In this case, I needed a solution for Windows, which – after a long search – found two solutions that are below.
I use the https://gitlab.com/wiert.me/examples/sql-examples.git repository as an example, but it isn’t limited to GitLab: the same symptoms happen with other hosters as well (for instance on GitHub and BitBucket):
First what doesn’t work: they all give the same 403 message.
git version 2.13.3.windows.1)git config --local credential.helper cachegit config --local credential.https://gitlab.com.username wiertPushing to https://gitlab.com/wiert.me/examples/sql-examples.git
git: 'credential-cache' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.
remote: HTTP Basic: Access denied
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://gitlab.com/wiert.me/examples/sql-examples.git/'The first thing that works is to include the actual password in the repository URL like this:
When you enter the correct password, everything is fine. Except that the password is stored as plain text on disk.
The real solution on Windows is to use the Windows Credential Manager. I found this because of the 5th failure above.
To see which username/password combinations have been stored or add your own, you can start the Credential Manager on the command-line like this (each Windows version seems to have a different path to the UI from the control panel; the console trick just works on all Windows versions I tested):
%windir%\explorer.exe shell:::{1206F5F1-0569-412C-8FEC-3204630DFB70}Note the above was the reason for writing List of Shell GUIDs for various Windows versions for use in shortcuts and batch files.
I have the impression that the “cached” credential manager will work on non-Windows systems, but need to find some time testing that on multiple platforms. Stay tuned (:
For that I need to look into at least these:

Is there a URL query string for searching own GitHub Gists? – Stack Overflow.
Yes, there is, and search terms search within your gists too:

[WayBack] About Blocks – bl.ocks.org is so cool:
Bl.ocks (pronounced “Blocks”) is a simple viewer for sharing code examples hosted on GitHub Gist.
…
The main source for your example is in
index.html. This file can contain relative links to other files in your Gist, such as images, scripts or stylesheets. And of course you can use absolute links, such as CDN-hosted D3, jQuery or Leaflet. To explain your example, add aREADME.mdwritten in Markdown. (You can omit theindex.htmlif you just want to write, too.)
[WayBack] Code-only-Blocks are cool too:
When your Gist is missing an
index.htmlfile, will hide the example iframe but continue to display everything else.
Just compare these:
