Can I share an entire Git project through Gist?

I am writing a tutorial for users of our API and want, for example, to include code snippets and complete files. I can expose the whole directory structure like git to load people; no problem. But I would like to embed the specific code on the corresponding pages as I can, using the entity.

I do this by copying each file to gist, pressing "embed" and copying the resulting link to my training page.

However, it seems wasteful to have a git repository configured with full files, and then duplicate it for each file. Is there a better way to do this?

(Alternatively, if there is a way to insert a link to a specific file from git, I could do it too), it will say here: “Here is a complete sample of the file,” so I would pull it that way well.)

Thanks.

There is http://gist-it.appspot.com/

GitHub has this on its “list”, but we do not know when this will happen.

It seems that embedding any file, not just from gists, is what GitHub plans, but not yet completed:

However, you can do something similar by downloading files dynamically from the "raw" links on GitHub and using SyntaxHighlighter to make them beautiful.
