## What it is
A curated cheat sheet listing hidden and lesser-known features of Git and GitHub, inspired by Zach Holman's conference talks. It is a multilingual documentation resource rather than software.

## Use cases
- learn hidden GitHub features like keyboard shortcuts and line highlighting
- find Git commands for comparing branches and filtering diffs
- discover tips for closing issues via commit messages
- look up Markdown and syntax highlighting tricks on GitHub
- quickly reference GitHub workflow tips while coding

## When to choose
- you want a quick reference of Git and GitHub tips and tricks
- you are onboarding developers to GitHub workflows
- you want a curated awesome-list of version-control features

## When to avoid
- you need executable tooling or automation for Git
- you need up-to-date coverage of newly released GitHub features
- you need in-depth tutorials rather than concise tips

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: documentation, developer-tools, version-control
- domain: developer-tools, version-control, documentation, awesome-lists
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: cheat-sheet, git, github, awesome-list, tips-and-tricks
