GitHub Desktop Keyboard Shortcuts Poster
Windows edition · 36 shortcuts
A printable, framed-quality poster of the essential GitHub Desktop shortcuts for Windows — the keys worth keeping in view, designed to stay
readable on a wall.
GitHub Desktop is GitHub's free, open-source Git client that lets you manage repositories, branches, commits, and pull requests through a graphical interface instead of the command line. These keyboard shortcuts cover the most common repository, branch, and commit actions so you can clone, push, pull, and commit without reaching for the mouse.
