🍊 Introducing Code Snippet Embed: Beautiful GitHub Gists on HubSpot

October 4, 2025 • 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.
