Please explain, or give a link, how to use GitHub Gists to speed up work (in particular layout)? I understand the approximate meaning, I watched a dozen videos, read the official instructions, but for the life of me I don’t understand how to use all this to speed up writing code directly from a text editor?
How is this all different from saving pieces of code on your computer locally in files? What are the benefits of Gists? Where is the acceleration?

Everything just lies in one place. And you don't think about where you put it. PhpStorm (probably also WebStorm) has such a feature in the context menu as Create Gist (see picture), which quickly uploads the selected piece of code to the gist. Sometimes you need to share a piece of code with a colleague. It is convenient to keep it on the gist. Perhaps I did not fully express myself, please complete me.

Gists is more of a place to store your best code snippets and share them with other people (eg in a team).
To speed up the work, it is better to use something else. For example Emmet and WebStorm Live Templates
