You can install Gist extension for VS code:

VS code -> Extensions -> search Gist -> install the extension (such as install the extension https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=kenhowardpdx.vscode-gist for below example) -> after install successful -> reload.

Then you can save your code to Gist through VS code directly:

Open the file you want to save in Gist -> press F1 -> input Gist: create new block -> input description etc.

To open/edit a relate Gist, you can press F1 , and input GIST: Open Block .

Note: for the first time when creating Gist by VS code, you need to provide your github username and password.
