GitHub Cheat Sheet is a curated list of tips, tricks, and “hidden” features of Git and GitHub assembled into a single, readable cheat sheet. It collects commands, workflows, and UI shortcuts that many developers are not aware of, such as advanced uses of git log, git reflog, GitHub keyboard shortcuts, URL hacks, and useful configuration settings. The project was inspired by Zach Holman’s talks on Git and GitHub secrets and aims to turn those scattered insights into a living document. The cheat sheet is organized into sections like “GitHub Search,” “GitHub Secrets,” “GitHub Security,” “Git Tips,” and so on, so readers can focus on specific aspects of the Git/GitHub workflow. It is maintained as a Markdown README, which means it can be read directly on GitHub, printed, or incorporated into internal docs. With tens of thousands of stars, it has become a popular resource for both newcomers and experienced developers who want to level up their GitHub usage.
