🍊 Introducing Code Snippet Embed: beautiful GitHub Gists on HubSpot

• Written by Alex Zappa

Developers love clarity. When you're explaining a feature, sharing a config, or writing a tutorial, clean code snippets make the difference.

But plain text blocks are clunky, and screenshots don't scale. That's why we built Code Snippet Embed (GitHub Gist), a module that brings your actual GitHub Gists directly into HubSpot, with full styling, line highlighting, and performance in mind.

⚡ What is Code Snippet Embed?

Code Snippet Embed is a developer-friendly HubSpot module that:

  • Renders real GitHub Gists inside your HubSpot pages.
  • Supports multi-file Gists and optional file selection.
  • Lets you highlight important lines or show only the parts that matter.
  • Delivers cached, lightweight embeds that keep Core Web Vitals healthy.

🎯 Why it matters

  • Authentic code: No screenshots, no manual copy-paste; the snippet is live from GitHub.
  • Readable & customizable: Line numbers, themes, captions, alignment, border radius.
  • Performance-first: Built-in caching means it loads fast without hammering GitHub.
  • SEO & accessibility: Captions and alt text help search engines (and users) understand your examples.
  • Backlinks boost: By hosting your snippets on GitHub, you can include links back to your blog or landing page. Since GitHub carries a high domain authority, those backlinks help strengthen your site's SEO footprint.

🛠 How it works

  1. Grab your GitHub Gist embed code.
  2. Paste it into the Gist Embed Code field.
  3. (Optional) Choose a file name, add a caption, or define which lines to show/highlight.
  4. Adjust styling in the Style tab — theme, line numbers, alignment, max-width.

That’s it. You get a polished, interactive snippet ready to drop into any HubSpot page.

🎨 Styling options

  • Light / Dark / System themes: adapt to your visitor's OS.
  • Line numbers toggle: keep them on or strip them for clean look.
  • Border radius + max width: match your site's design system.
  • Footer controls: show or hide GitHub attribution and filename.

📈 Example use cases

  • Product documentation pages.
  • Blog tutorials with code walkthroughs.
  • Marketing sites that want to showcase technical chops.
  • Internal knowledge base content.

Wherever you need real code to shine, this module keeps it neat, fast, and consistent.
