They collaborate, contribute, and fix bugs. It also <strong>hosts plenty of open source projects and codes of various programming languages<\/strong>. What\u2019s more, Github also released a desktop application for both <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/windows.github.com\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Windows<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mac.github.com\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">macOS<\/a> that allows anyone to integrate Github within their workflow seamlessly.<\/p>\n<p>But, there is more to Github than meets the eye. A number of features are somewhat hidden beneath the neat user interface and hence are overlooked by many. So, here are <strong>10 Github features that you might not know<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"note\"><strong>Recommended Reading:<\/strong> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/github-with-custom-domain\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Setup A Custom Domain For Github Pages<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>1. Drag and Drop Gist Code<\/h2>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/gist.github.com\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gist<\/a> is Github\u2019s very own facility that allows you to host code snippets. You can also <strong>browse and find a large number of code snippets of a variety of languages<\/strong>. Using Gist is downright easy and should be intuitive. But, did you know that <strong>you can add codes directly from files<\/strong>? Simply drag and drop the files on the Gist, the codes within the files will be immediately copied. It\u2019s quick and saves you a lot of time!<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/github-overlooked-features\/drag-n-drop.gif\" alt=\"drag drop\" width=\"500\" height=\"320\"><\/figure>\n<h2>2. Creating a folder via the Web Interface<\/h2>\n<p>While many of us may manage Github repositories through the free Github app, Github has also built what they called WebFlow. It <strong>allows us to manage repositories through Github\u2019s web interface<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>And this is how you <strong>create new folders or files in directly in Github<\/strong>. End each new input with a <code>\/<\/code> to create a new folder. Or, specify a file extension and hit Commit a New File to create a new file.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/github-overlooked-features\/github-new-files.gif\" alt=\"creating folder\" width=\"500\" height=\"320\"><\/figure>\n<h2>3. Using Git URL Shortener<\/h2>\n<p>These days people like sharing things from their photos, statuses, and news in Twitter. If you are a Github user, you might also want to <strong>share your Github repository<\/strong>. Yet, the repository URL is sometimes too long to be shared in Twitter, which only accepts 140 characters.<\/p>\n<p>Certainly there are plenty of options to shorten the URL like <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bitly.com\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bit.ly<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Goo.gl<\/a>, but why not consider using Github\u2019s very own facility, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/git.io\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Git.io<\/a>? Git.io will shorten the URL of your Github repository. There is also <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/cocoahero\/gitio\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the command line interface for Git.io<\/a> to shorten the URL through Terminal using the <code>gitio<\/code> command.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/github-overlooked-features\/git-io.jpg\" alt=\"git url shorterner\" width=\"500\" height=\"320\"><\/figure>\n<h2>4. File Finder<\/h2>\n<p>Besides creating new files, you can also <strong>navigate through the files in any repository quickly<\/strong>. This feature is not visibly obvious as it comes in the form of a <strong>keyboard shortcut<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Hit the <span class=\"key\">T<\/span> key to activate File Finder. Press the <span class=\"key\">\u2191<\/span> and <span class=\"key\">\u2191<\/span> jump over files up and down. Or, type the file name to select a specific file you already have in mind.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/github-overlooked-features\/github-file-finder.gif\" alt=\"file finder\" width=\"500\" height=\"320\"><\/figure>\n<h2>5. Using Github Emoji<\/h2>\n<p>Emojis or emoticons are tiny icons that depict an expression of some sort (mostly in the form of faces). In Facebook and Twitter, <strong>people often express their feelings with emojis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Actually,<strong> you can also show emojis in Github<\/strong>. Find all the Emoji characters and codes in <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ellekasai.github.io\/twemoji-awesome\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Emoji Cheat Sheet<\/a>. The emojis can be added in README.md file of the repository, Wiki, and in the Issues thread.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/github-overlooked-features\/github-emoji.jpg\" alt=\"github emoji\" width=\"500\" height=\"100\"><\/figure>\n<h2>6. Using Github Command Line Interface<\/h2>\n<p>Whilst most people like working using a GUI, there are still some  who prefer using CLI (Command Line Interface). This is where <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/github\/hub\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Github CLI<\/a> comes in. Github CLI is initiated with <code>hub<\/code>. It <strong>brings extra commands that can be used<\/strong> along with the <code>git<\/code> commands. The full list of the features can be found in <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/github\/hub\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Hub repository page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/github-overlooked-features\/github-hub.jpg\" alt=\"github command line\" width=\"500\" height=\"320\"><\/figure>\n<h2>7. Linking Lines<\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes, you might want to <strong>share and point out specific lines within the file of your repository<\/strong>. Github allows you to do this by adding <code>#L<\/code> followed by the line number at the end of file URL (take a look at the example below).<\/p>\n<p>You can also <strong>select a range of lines by specifying the starting and end lines<\/strong> within the <code>#L<\/code> parameter. The <code>#L10-15<\/code>, as an example, selects line 10 to 15.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/github-overlooked-features\/github-linking-lines.jpg\" alt=\"linking lines\" width=\"500\" height=\"320\"><\/figure>\n<h2>8. Task Checklist<\/h2>\n<p>Github<strong> extends markdown to cater to its own need<\/strong>. Now you can add a list of checkboxes in Github using <code>- [ ]<\/code> or <code>- [x]<\/code> to denote a checked item. Please note that the checkbox will only appear in a list item; the <code>[ ]<\/code> sign have to be initiated with a dash sign <code>&dash;<\/code>. Here is an example:<\/p>\n<pre>\r\n- [x] create a post.\r\n- [x] create a page.\r\n- [x] add images.\r\n- [ ] published the post.\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>This code will turn into:<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/github-overlooked-features\/github-checklist.jpg\" alt=\"checklist\" width=\"500\" height=\"289\"><\/figure>\n<h2>9. Map, CSV and 3D Rendering<\/h2>\n<p>Gihub supports CSV. If you include a .csv file, Github will <strong>render your CSV file into an interactive tabular data format<\/strong>. It even allows you to search through it. Aside CSV, Github will also automatically render Map  with the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/STL_(file_format)\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\">STL extension<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/github-overlooked-features\/github-map.jpg\" alt=\"map csv\" width=\"500\" height=\"320\"><\/figure>\n<h2>10. Get Octodex<\/h2>\n<p>Last but not least, did you know that Github has <strong>a variety of versions<\/strong> of its mascot, <strong>Octocat<\/strong>? Google has its Doodle, while Github has <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/octodex.github.com\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Octodex<\/a>. Octodex is a collection of creative alternate version of Octocat. There, you can find Labtocat, Femalecodertocat, Octoliberty, Spidertocat, Megacat, and a bunch of other cool Octocats. You can use Octodex as you personal avatar. Refer to the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/octodex.github.com\/faq\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FAQ page<\/a> for more on the use policy of Octodex.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/github-overlooked-features\/octodex.jpg\" alt=\"Octodex\" width=\"500\" height=\"320\"><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Github is now the place where programmers and designers work together.
