Shortcuts for GitHub

[kellijohnson-NOAA]

Well, as always, I am late 🙀. This post was meant for last week, which is why I am always in the need of shortcuts while on my long road of to dos. Often, I find shortcuts hard to remember and a waste of time to learn. For some reason though, I ❤️ the following three shortcuts on GitHub

• g i - will take you directly to the issues page for a repository
• g g - will take you to the discussions page for a repository
• . - will take you to a Visual Studio Code session in the browser for a repository, you must be signed in to use this feature

I haven't taken the time to memorize the remainder of the shortcuts that are available but I plan on trying a few of them out. Such as > because I always find myself wanting to get out of VS Code and back to the GitHub page so I might as well just open it in a new tab in the first place. Another one that I just learned right now is command shift p that toggles between "Write" and "Preview" tabs while typing on GitHub.

These are helpful and new to me. The one shortcut I already knew was command shift p which I use about 10 times every time I write an issue.
