First off, this is a brilliant brilliant tool. I really love it.

Second, I'd really like a way to just download all my gists and keep them locally (in my .emacs.d somewhere ideally).

I might have a go at hacking it together myself but I thought I'd create the issue here anyway to get your thoughts on the idea.

I'm not sure what would be the right approach. I see mostly 2:

have a filesystem-based version of the caching code, and probably use some .dir-locals.el file to keep pushing modifications at save time
or go the full git way, and actually clone the gists, but then one would have to handle them manually for updates

Maybe both options should be provided, actually...

I prefer the latter. I think in memory and full git clone would be what I was interested in.
