I have a setup where tshepang.github.com redirects to tshepang.net, and have set up my A record to point to 204.232.175.78 (as explained). It works well.
Now, I want to have a subdomain, so I can have a CNAME record pointing to movies.tshepang.net. Since tshepang.github.com is already taken, I don't know how to do it, short of creating another GitHub account.
There is no way to do this without the command line. GitHub does not have a way to promote gists into a repo.
While the GitHub interface does allow you to edit files in your repository, they have to already be there via a git push from your local.
Should they add the ability to add files via the web interface then you would be able to "promote" a gist into a GitHub repo via a standard copy and paste of its contents. But that would also not carry over any of the gist's history of commits.
If you still want to, you'll have to use the command line or IDE.
Click it.
You'll see a pop up with info such as this:
Use this clone URL yourself.
git clone git@gist.github.com:{SHA-1}.git local-repo
Run the git clone to your local
You may be required to confirm the download if the authenticity of the host, gist.github.com, cannot be established.
You may also have to enter your passphrase to connect to GitHub
Update the remote to your GitHub repo, of where you want to push these files.
git remote set-url origin {git://new.url.here}
Now you should be able to push the gist files into a GitHub repo, with all their commit revision history.
It is possible to create a new folder from the web interface, but it would require you to have at least one file within the folder when creating it.
When using the normal way of creating new files through the web interface, you can type in the folder into the file name to create the file within that new directory.
E.g. If I would like to create the file filename.md in a series of subfolders, I can do this (taken from the GitHub Blog):

Yes, it is possible to have multiple GitHub Pages sites within one account. Create another GitHub repository and push your site files to the
gh-pagesbranch. This would result in the site being hosted attshepang.github.io/<repo-name>.Now, push another file "CNAME" to the same repository and branch and fill it with
movies.tshepang.net. Log in to your DNS host and add the CNAME to point to "tshepang.github.io" (just like the original site).This would allow you to have seemingly two different sites on different domains. This would not work for having two or more sub-domains within github.io itself.
