How to verify my account in order to use the Kovan testnet?

Question

I am new to parity and kovan-testnet.

I have to verify my account in order to receive keth.

I am confused as to where to execute the following code:

curl http://github-faucet.kovan.network/url --data "address=https://gist.github.com/[github_username]/[gist_hash]"

So you first need to create a gist page with your wallet address, you can do that here : https://gist.github.com/ that will create a page with an url similar to this https://gist.github.com/didil/903f79a59dc84d20cf7d52207416368c afterwards you just need to execute this command in your command line tool (terminal in mac os or bash in linux or the command prompt for windows) :

curl http://github-faucet.kovan.network/url --data "address=https://gist.github.com/didil/903f79a59dc84d20cf7d52207416368c"

make sure you replace the gist address with your own
