gist.github.com has a great feature where you can embed the current version of a file in a blog via a <script/> tag.
However, I can't seem to embed an older revision, or the current atomic revision in such a way, that further commits won't update what's embedded by the embed tag. Is this possible?
Just add .js to the end of the URL like this: https://gist.github.com/1522901/0f74d53b18060f6292db9dc4d6c1922f72aa2aaf.js
eval() that is removed in later revisions) you can include this js: gist.github.com/aconrad/1522901/…
Unless Github makes this possible (perhaps with a feature request/service hook), one easy way would be to simply display the contents of the gist using its complete url along with the commit hash, such as https://gist.github.com/1522901/0f74d53b18060f6292db9dc4d6c1922f72aa2aaf, and then just use some third party code highlighting library for displaying it.
