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.

`inline code is just one backtick`

inline code is just one backtick


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.

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/
