Markdown

Like Microsoft Word, Markdown is like a word processor but specifically for GitHub. Its a tricky best but is easily usuable and has a certain language and art to it that with time, will become your best friend.

Markdown Basic Syntax

To add a Title use the # in order to make it the main heading. Like HTML, to make correspondings headings like H1 or H2, add a #;for example

for the equivalent of H3.

To create paragraphs, add a line of blank code in between the desired text in order to properly format the prargraph.

For bold text, use three * followed by text then three *. For example

BOLD word

For italic text, use a * insert text and end with *. For example:

Fancy

For a list of ordered items, use 1., 2. 3. 4. accordingly. For example:

1. test
2. test
3. test
4. test

For an unorderd list of items you can use a - or a single *. For example:

• test

GitHub Pages

Git is the arena and GitHub is the sport. It’s a place to colaborately work with others in order to create and add to a repository. It can be public or private. It allows you to see your progress continously and never lose your work. Instead of creating a new file like resume, resume 2, resume updated, etc. It allows to continously work. No database or servers to configure, direct interface. Most commonly used with markdown. You can create a webpage with its master branch and drag and drop files wiht ease. It seems simple enough but does take some time to learn.
