Gist by different user about dynamic-badges-action HOT 4 CLOSED

I'm talking about the in

https://gist.githubusercontent.com///raw/test.json

from dynamic-badges-action.

Reading the gist by another user is obviously possible. So you can create a badge in your README.md based on my gist. Like this :

![badge](https://img.shields.io/endpoint?url=https://gist.githubusercontent.com/schneegans/2ab8f1d386f13aaebccbd87dac94068d/raw/hello-world.json)

Writing the gist by another user is something I never tried. You would definitely need a personal access token (https://github.com/settings/tokens) by that user to be able to write to her gists. Then it may work! I think the gist ID is unique over all users of GitHub.

I tried it out and it works.

The repo running the task is on an organization X and the gist belongs to user Y. No problem as long as I created the access token that allows to write to the gist and used the gist id.

The question has been answered and everything is good. Closing this issue.
