Cannot update Gist when the project has been saved locally

[xmedeko]

1. I publish project as Gist.
2. Then do File > Save to a local folder.
3. Make changes to the project.

Now i want to update the Gist, but cannot. When I paste Gist URL to the Gist URL input field, I can do only:

• "Load Fiddle", then replace each file copy&paste, then update the Fiddle. It's tedious.
• Publish as a new Gist and delete the old one. This is inconvenient when I have shared the Gist URL with someone already.

@xmedeko can you explain a little more what you're trying to do? If you're storing it as a gist, why is it necessary to save as a local project?

Hm, good question, but this is my way of using Fiddle when I hit some problem in Electron: I first make a local project, trying to find what's wrong. When I think it's a bug I push the project to Gist and start writing Github issue. Usually, I find something to improve when writing the bug, so I make a few more version. And after each version I want to save it locally (because i think it's the last one 😉 ) Then, on my local drive, I have a directory of these fiddles and I find it easier to fiddle with them later than to search them in Gist.

And last, not least, I've reported a few bugs with Electron run from CLI and it's much easier to have such fiddle locally.
