Description

Unless I'm reading wrong, :Gist -a shouldn't need an account because it's making an anonymous gist, but I'm still getting the error message.

This is vim 8.1, and I used Vundle with Plugin 'mattn/webapi-vim' and Plugin 'mattn/gist-vim'

Is it an issue on my side, or something else I might need to look for? I couldn't find much useful information on :help gist-vim-setup, as, again, I'm not trying to set up an account
