GitHub Cheatsheet - Code Hosting Platform Shortcut Reference

Daily GitHub work — reviewing PRs, hunting files, leaving comments — is full of small repeated clicks. This reference covers global navigation (s and /), repo and file search, code search, Issue/PR hotkeys, review commenting, and Markdown editing. The big wins are keyboard-opened search and quick PR-review commenting. For maintainers and reviewers who spend hours in the browser rather than the terminal. After reading you review, search and comment faster than the mouse allows.
