Keyboard shortcuts for GHfW

Here's a listing of all the GHfW keyboard stuff that i can think of. Now i know them after writing this, but i figured it would be nice to have these documentated somewhere.

Rant: i dont know why people say that Windows users dont like using the keyboard for everything. That's certainly not true for me. Though, that may be the case from using Unix in college.

You can use Alt shortcuts. Hold down Alt and you'll see the underlines. Menus brought up this way have j & k navigations! Try it on the tools menu.

Whether you're trying to give back to the open source community or collaborating on your own projects, knowing how to properly fork and generate pull requests is essential. Unfortunately, it's quite easy to make mistakes or not know what you should do when you're initially learning the process. I know that I certainly had considerable initial trouble with it, and I found a lot of the information on GitHub and around the internet to be rather piecemeal and incomplete - part of the process described here, another there, common hangups in a different place, and so on.

In an attempt to coallate this information for myself and others, this short tutorial is what I've found to be fairly standard procedure for creating a fork, doing your work, issuing a pull request, and merging that pull request back into the original project.

Creating a Fork

Just head over to the GitHub page and click the "Fork" button. It's just that simple. Once you've done that, you can use your favorite git client to clone your repo or j
