Your GitHub Learning Lab Repository for Communicating Using Markdown

Welcome to your repository for your GitHub Learning Lab course. This repository will be used during the different activities that I will be guiding you through.

Oh! I haven't introduced myself...

I'm the GitHub Learning Lab bot and I'm here to help guide you in your journey to learn and master the various topics covered in this course. I will be using Issue and Pull Request comments to communicate with you. In fact, I already added an issue for you to check out.

I'll meet you over there, can't wait to get started!

Username and Team @mentions

Username and Team @mentions

Typing an @ symbol, followed by a GitHub username, will send a notification to that person about the comment. This is called an “@mention”, because you’re mentioning the individual. You can also @mention teams within an organization. For more information, see “Receiving notifications about activity on GitHub in the GitHub Help.

Cross Links

Cross Links

To bring up a list of suggested issues and pull requests within a repository, type #. Type the issue or pull request number or title to filter the list, and then press either Tab or Enter to complete the highlighted result.

Additionally, references to issues and pull requests are automatically converted to shortened links to the issue or pull request. For example,

Reference type	Raw reference	Short link
Issue or pull request URL	https://github.com/desktop/desktop/pull/3602	#3602
# and issue or pull request number	#3602	#3602
GH- and issue or pull request number	GH-3602	GH-3602
Username/Repository# and issue or pull request number	desktop/desktop#3602	desktop/desktop#3602

For more information, see “Autolinked references and URLs” in the GitHub Help.

Linking Specific Commits

Linking Specific Commits

References to a commit's ID (commonly called a SHA or hash) are automatically converted into shortened links to the commit on GitHub. For example,

Reference type	Raw reference	Short link
Commit URL	desktop/desktop@8304e9c	8304e9c
SHA	8304e9c271a5e5ab4fda797304cd7bcca7158c87	8304e9c
User@SHA	desktop@8304e9c271a5e5ab4fda797304cd7bcca7158c87	desktop@8304e9c
Username/Repository@SHA	User/Repository@SHA: desktop/desktop@8304e9c	desktop/desktop@8304e9c

Formatting Markdown

Quotes

Quotes

You can create quote text with a >.

In the words of Abraham Lincoln:

> Pardon my French

Tables

Tables

You can create tables by assembling a list of words and dividing them with hyphens - (for the first row), and then separating each column with a pipe |:

```
First Header | Second Header
------------ | -------------
Content from cell 1 | Content from cell 2
Content in the first column | Content in the second column
```

First Header	Second Header
Content from cell 1	Content from cell 2
Content in the first column	Content in the second column

For more detail on formatting with tables, see "Organizing information with tables" in the GitHub Help.

Inline Code Blocks

Inline Code Blocks

Certain words and phrases need to be formatted in monospace fonts, especially when writing about code. As you've seen throughout this lab, words can be distinguished in markdown with inline code blocks.

Inline code is just one ``` character on either side of the text, and can be used within paragraphs, headers, or other Markdown.

Separate Code Blocks

Separate Code Blocks

To separate out a larger block of code, use three ``` characters instead of one, and set the text aside in its own paragraph.

What we type:

```
Anything written in this **paragraph** will not be _formatted_ even if it would normally be recognized in this setting. :taco:
```

Syntax Highlighting

Syntax Highlighting

In addition to code blocks, some code blocks should be rendered differently depending on the language, such as Javascript or command-line text.

What we type:

  ```sh
  github-learning-lab ~/Projects/recipe-repository
  $ git init
  Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/github-learning-lab/Projects/recipe-repository/.git/
  ```

What we see:

github-learning-lab ~/Projects/recipe-repository
$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/github-learning-lab/Projects/recipe-repository/.git/

Getting Started with GitHub

Welcome to your repository!

In this repository ^📖, you’ll learn how to write with Markdown ^📖, a simple and widely used markup language for formatting text. Here, you’ll start building a static webpage for your customized portfolio.

What is Markdown?

Markdown is a lightweight syntax for communicating on GitHub, and many other websites. You can format words as bold or italic, add images, and create lists. Markdown is regular text combined with a few non-alphabetic symbols, such as # or *. You can use Markdown with the formatting toolbar in issues ^📖 and pull requests ^📖, or you can type the syntax.

You can use Markdown most places around GitHub:

• Comments in issues and pull requests (like this one!)
• Files with the .md or .markdown extension
• Sharing snippets of text in Gists

For more information, see “Writing on GitHub” in the GitHub Help.

Let's get started!
