Creating Gist with PyGithub

Question

Is there an option to create new Gist with PyGithub?

There is such API option on GitHub, however it seems to be missing in PyGithub.

Use Github.get_user followed by AuthenticatedUser.create_gist:

gh = github.Github("auth token")
gh_auth_user = gh.get_user()
gist = gh_auth_user.create_gist(public=False, files={"myfile.txt": github.InputFileContent("my contents")}, description="my description")

do you happen to know how to *update* an existing gist? – XoXo Jan 02 '20 at 22:56
Gist is a git repository. I'm cloning it locally after creation, then working with it like with regular git repo. – MrBr Jan 04 '20 at 11:21
