It seems there is no limit on editions.
For example, one of my gists has 73 revisions.
Question
I created a gist to store some casual changes to files. The gist is now at revision 14, and cannot save new changes.
The AJAX call shows an aborted
message after trying to post to https://gist.github.com/AstDerek/<gist-id>
And a redirection to https://collector.githubapp.com/gist/page_view?dimensions[page]=https%3A%2F%2Fgist.github.com%2FAstDerek%2F<gist-id>&dimensions[title]=Gists&dimensions[referrer]=&dimensions[user_agent]=<browser-details>&dimensions[screen_resolution]=<res>&dimensions[pixel_ratio]=1&dimensions[browser_resolution]=<res>&dimensions[timestamp]=<ts>&&dimensions[actor_id]=<id>&dimensions[actor_login]=AstDerek&dimensions[actor_hash]=<some-hash>
Solution
It seems there is no limit on editions.
For example, one of my gists has 73 revisions.
OTHER TIPS
this gist has over 10,000 revisions: https://gist.github.com/x-ratma-net-bot/bbea2ecec2598a790487bea921b87e0d
and funnily enough, once you hit 10,000 revisions, gist will no longer tell you how many revisions it has, only that it is "10,000+ revisions"
