Git Cheatsheet

Standalone HTML page that organizes Git's commands by what they affect. Built as I was learning git and trying to understand it. It's proved useful to others in the same endeavor.

Comments and pull requests welcome.

To add a translation

1. Determine the 2-letter language code (ISO 639-1). See the existing files in git-cheatsheet/lang.
2. Create a new JSON file with the name of the code in git-cheatsheet/lang. Choose one of the other languages as a starting point.
3. Write your translation. Use the exact identical property keys in the JSON structure. Only change the values.
4. Add a link for users to choose the translation. In git-cheatsheet.html, insert (alphabetically) a new line that looks like:

<a class="lang" data-lang="vi" data-docs="Vietnamese translation by trgiangdo">vn</a>

5. Add your name to the README.md above.
6. Test manually
7. Create a pull request. Give me a couple days to reply, but then feel free to write.
8. Once it's merged, tell people about it.

Keep the PR restricted to changes related to the translation.

FAQ

Are there any "features"?

You can navigate over different "locations" and commands with the mouse, arrow keys, or vi-like keystrokes.

Why is it called "Cheat Sheet"?

It's pretty silly, actually. I had a little SEO juice from a couple other real cheat sheets, so I thought I'd just leverage that term. In retrospect, I think this was an okay tactic, as it brought people to the page.
