Made a [notebook that can save data to githubs gists](https://observablehq.com/@hellonearthis/save-data-to-a-github-gists). It uses the [github-actions-workflows-api](https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/github-actions-workflows-api) notebook made by @tophtucker  
My notebook adds more usage documentation to help others access githubs features easier.
