It is possible to use Snippets that I have stored in Gist in Visual Studio Code.
Preferably it was an extension that allows me to keep them in gist and be able to modify them there without the need to download and install them in VSCode.

I have the same problem as you.
So, I made a tool NPM cli Generate code-snippets from gist
You can generate code-snippets from gist easily by gisnippet sync <id>
Its name is gisnippet, which means gist+snippet
Install nodejs
Easily install it with
npm install -g gisnippetAuthorize your github token, which has gist permissions with
gisnippet login <yourtoken>(Optional) Set the code-snippet path of your vscode with
gisnippet globalfolder <path>. Usually this path looks like this C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\snippetsView all gist with
gisnippet show, You can see the description, id, and included files of your gistvuetify-template e2189f3b10cd5c83156e4c7ac6b9ad4f 2020-10-19T02:55:07Z- wireframe-base.vue 452

Copy the gist id, and use
gisnippet sync <gist id>to convert the gist into a code-snippets file. The optional parameter -g means that the code-snippet file will be generated in the set global folder, otherwise it will be generated in the current folder. You can copy the generated result to the .vscode folder in the root directory of vscode so that it can be used only in the current project
