On Ubuntu the binary is renamed gist-paste as you are no doubt aware. Perhaps the error messages, e.g., this login one:

$ gist-paste foo.txt 
Please log in with `gist --login`. (Github now requires credentials to gist https://bit.ly/2GBBxKw)

... could use the name of the invoked binary (gist-paste) here, to avoid confusing the user (e.g., using argv[0] or however the name is available in your implementation language).

Great idea! Pull requests are welcome :)

Fair enough, but unfortunately my Ruby skills round down to zero.
