🚀 Day 14: Crafting a Linux & Git-GitHub Cheat Sheet! 📝

Congratulations on reaching this milestone! 🎉 After diving deep into Linux and Git-GitHub, today’s task is all about consolidating your knowledge into a powerful, go-to resource that will not only benefit you but the entire DevOps community. Let’s get started!

Task Overview: Create a Linux & Git-GitHub Cheat Sheet 🧩

Your task is to create a cheat sheet that includes essential Linux and Git-GitHub commands with brief descriptions. Make it unique, visually appealing, and easy to understand. You’ve learned a lot so far, so here’s how you can put that knowledge to good use:

Step-by-Step Guide to Creating the Cheat Sheet:

1. Organize the Commands into Categories

• Group commands based on their functionality, such as:

  • Linux Commands: File management, process management, networking, etc.

  • Git Commands: Branching, merging, reverting, resetting, etc.

• Example:

  • File Management: ls, cd, cp, mv

  • Git Branching: git branch, git checkout, git merge, git rebase

2. Provide Descriptions for Each Command

• Write a brief, clear description explaining what each command does.

• Examples:

  • Linux: ls – Lists all files and directories in the current directory.

  • Git: git status – Displays the state of the working directory and the staging area.

3. Add Useful Options and Examples

• Highlight useful options for each command with practical examples.

• Example:

  • Linux: ls -la – Lists all files, including hidden ones, with detailed information.

  • Git: git commit -am "message" – Stages all changes and commits them with a message.

4. Design the Cheat Sheet to Be Visually Appealing

• Use headings, color coding, icons, and spacing for clarity.

• Create sections for easier navigation, such as headers for different categories.

• Use tools like Canva, Adobe Spark, or even simple Markdown to design your cheat sheet.

5. Add Handy Tips or Tricks

• Include shortcuts or aliases for frequently used commands.

• Example:

  • Git Alias: git config --global alias.co checkout – Allows using git co as a shortcut for git checkout.

🔧 Command-Line Guide for Reference:
