Many times, we need a very basic cms for our hobby projects. For those cases, we can use github gist to have it.

Steps:

1. We need to create a public gist, with a json file having our config data
   

2. Once the gist is create, grab the gist id
   

3. Then, we can simply fetch its content by following url. The config data would be present at response.files['your-file-name'].content.
   In our case it would be response.files[data.json].content

API: https://api.github.com/gists/<your-gist-id-here>
Example:  https://api.github.com/gists/88c72cf2e8ba532a24024d9cfa5cc52a

4. Once we get the stringified json, we can parse it and use it.
