GitHub Cheat Sheet is a reference document, not runnable software, that collects useful but often overlooked features of the Git version control system and the GitHub platform. It is a curated list of tips, tricks, and URL patterns that can save time for anyone who uses GitHub regularly, from beginners who want to learn efficient workflows to experienced developers who may have missed less-publicized features. The document is organized into two main sections. The GitHub section covers things you can do inside the GitHub web interface: appending query parameters to URLs to filter diffs or compare branches across dates, keyboard shortcuts on the site, highlighting specific lines in code by adding a line number to the URL, closing GitHub issues automatically by writing special phrases in commit messages, embedding images in comments by pasting from the clipboard, and adding interactive task checklists to pull request descriptions. The Git section covers command-line techniques: how to return to the previous branch with a shortcut, how to create empty commits for triggering CI pipelines, how to view a prettified git log with color and graph formatting, how to search across all commit messages with a single command, and how to configure aliases that shorten common commands. There is no installation and no code to run. You read it as a reference and apply the individual tips in your own projects and workflows. You would use this resource when you want to work faster on GitHub, for example, when you need to track down which commit introduced a bug, compare two branches in a pull request, or quickly see all commits made by one author. There is no tech stack involved, it is Markdown prose that lives on GitHub and is readable in any browser.
