Collect GitHub ProTips #50

Open Daniel-Mietchen opened 7 years ago

Daniel-Mietchen commented 7 years ago

At the bottom of pages on GitHub (e.g. issue lists), there are sometimes little messages like

ProTip! What’s not been updated in a month: updated:<2017-01-22.

or

 ProTip! Type g p on any issue or pull request to go back to the pull request listing page.

It would be useful to have a system to keep track of these and to use them as some sort of cheat sheet, which I suspect is existing somewhere already.

1h to get started.

ProTip! Find everything you created by searching author:Daniel-Mietchen.

no:milestone will show everything without a milestone.

Perhaps a dedicated file here in the repo could be an option, but some might argue that these ProTips fall under copyright, so I (not being the originator) cannot put them into the public domain (as I am doing with the content in this repo).

Perhaps this should go into a readme. Not sure about licensing though.

Not labeled as a "ProTip" but probably useful too:

Tip: Press "?" on any page in GitHub to see all available keyboard shortcuts.
