Headings
To create a heading, add one to six # symbols before your heading text. The number of # you use will determine the size of the heading.
# The largest heading
## The second largest heading
###### The smallest heading
When you use two or more headings, GitHub automatically generates a table of contents which you can access by clicking within the file header. Each heading title is listed in the table of contents and you can click a title to navigate to the selected section.
Styling text
You can indicate emphasis with bold, italic, strikethrough, subscript, or superscript text in comment fields and .md files.
| Style | Syntax | Keyboard shortcut | Example | Output |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bold | ** ** or __ __ | Command+B (Mac) or Ctrl+B (Windows/Linux) | **This is bold text** | This is bold text |
| Italic | * * or _ _ | Command+I (Mac) or Ctrl+I (Windows/Linux) | *This text is italicized* | This text is italicized |
| Strikethrough | ~~ ~~ | ~~This was mistaken text~~ | ||
| Bold and nested italic | ** ** and _ _ | **This text is _extremely_ important** | This text is extremely important | |
| All bold and italic | *** *** | ***All this text is important*** | All this text is important | |
| Subscript | <sub> </sub> | <sub>This is a subscript text</sub> | This is a subscript text | |
| Superscript | <sup> </sup> | <sup>This is a superscript text</sup> | This is a superscript text |
Quoting text
You can quote text with a >.
Text that is not a quote
> Text that is a quote
Tip: When viewing a conversation, you can automatically quote text in a comment by highlighting the text, then typing R. You can quote an entire comment by clicking , then Quote reply. For more information about keyboard shortcuts, see "Keyboard shortcuts."
Quoting code
You can call out code or a command within a sentence with single backticks. The text within the backticks will not be formatted. You can also press the Command+E (Mac) or Ctrl+E (Windows/Linux) keyboard shortcut to insert the backticks for a code block within a line of Markdown.
Use `git status` to list all new or modified files that haven't yet been committed.
To format code or text into its own distinct block, use triple backticks.
Some basic Git commands are: ``` git status git add git commit ```
For more information, see "Creating and highlighting code blocks."
Supported color models
In issues, pull requests, and discussions, you can call out colors within a sentence by using backticks. A supported color model within backticks will display a visualization of the color.
The background color should be `#ffffff` for light mode and `#0d1117` for dark mode.
Here are the currently supported color models.
| Color | Syntax | Example | Output |
|---|---|---|---|
| HEX | `#RRGGBB` | `#0969DA` |  |
| RGB | `rgb(R,G,B)` | `rgb(9, 105, 218)` |  |
| HSL | `hsl(H,S,L)` | `hsl(212, 92%, 45%)` |  |
Notes:
- A supported color model cannot have any leading or trailing spaces within the backticks.
- The visualization of the color is only supported in issues, pull requests, and discussions.
Links
You can create an inline link by wrapping link text in brackets [ ], and then wrapping the URL in parentheses ( ). You can also use the keyboard shortcut Command+K to create a link.
This site was built using [GitHub Pages](https://pages.github.com/).
Tip: GitHub Enterprise Server automatically creates links when valid URLs are written in a comment. For more information, see "Autolinked references and URLs."
Section links
セクションのヘッディング上にカーソルを移動させてリンクを表示させることにより、表示されたファイル中のセクションに対して直接リンクできます。
Relative links
表示されたファイル中で相対リンクと画像パスを定義して、読者がリポジトリ中の他のファイルにアクセスしやすくできます。
相対リンクは、現在のファイルに対する相対的なリンクです。 たとえば、リポジトリのルートに README ファイルがあり、docs/CONTRIBUTING.md に別のファイルがある� �合、README の CONTRIBUTING.md への相対リンクは次のようになります。
[Contribution guidelines for this project](docs/CONTRIBUTING.md)
GitHub Enterprise Serverは相対リンクあるいは画像パスを、現在のブランチに基づいて変換するので、リンクやパスは常にうまく働きます。 リンクのパスは、現在のファイルに対する相対パスになります。 / で始まるリンクは、リポジトリ ルートに対する相対パスです。 ./ や ../ のような相対リンクのオペランドをすべて使用できます。
相対リンクは、リポジトリをクローンするユーザにも扱いやすいです。 絶対リンクはリポジトリのクローンではうまく働かないかもしれません。リポジトリ内の他のファイルを参照するには、相対リンクを使うことをおすすめします。
Images
You can display an image by adding ! and wrapping the alt text in [ ]. Then wrap the link for the image in parentheses ().
GitHub Enterprise Server supports embedding images into your issues, pull requests, comments and .md files. You can display an image from your repository, add a link to an online image, or upload an image. For more information, see "Uploading assets."
Tip: When you want to display an image which is in your repository, you should use relative links instead of absolute links.
Here are some examples for using relative links to display an image.
| Context | Relative Link |
|---|---|
In a .md file on the same branch | /assets/images/electrocat.png |
In a .md file on another branch | /../main/assets/images/electrocat.png |
| In issues, pull requests and comments of the repository | ../blob/main/assets/images/electrocat.png?raw=true |
In a .md file in another repository | /../../../../github/docs/blob/main/assets/images/electrocat.png |
| In issues, pull requests and comments of another repository | ../../../github/docs/blob/main/assets/images/electrocat.png?raw=true |
Note: The last two relative links in the table above will work for images in a private repository only if the viewer has at least read access to the private repository which contains these images.
For more information, see "Relative Links."
Lists
You can make an unordered list by preceding one or more lines of text with - or *.
- George Washington
- John Adams
- Thomas Jefferson
To order your list, precede each line with a number.
1. James Madison
2. James Monroe
3. John Quincy Adams
Nested Lists
You can create a nested list by indenting one or more list items below another item.
To create a nested list using the web editor on GitHub Enterprise Server or a text editor that uses a monospaced font, like Visual Studio Code, you can align your list visually. Type space characters in front of your nested list item, until the list marker character (- or *) lies directly below the first character of the text in the item above it.
1. First list item
- First nested list item
- Second nested list item
Note: In the web-based editor, you can indent or dedent one or more lines of text by first highlighting the desired lines and then using Tab or Shift+Tab respectively.
To create a nested list in the comment editor on GitHub Enterprise Server, which doesn't use a monospaced font, you can look at the list item immediately above the nested list and count the number of characters that appear before the content of the item. Then type that number of space characters in front of the nested list item.
In this example, you could add a nested list item under the list item 100. First list item by indenting the nested list item a minimum of five spaces, since there are five characters (100. ) before First list item.
100. First list item
- First nested list item
You can create multiple levels of nested lists using the same method. For example, because the first nested list item has seven characters (␣␣␣␣␣-␣) before the nested list content First nested list item, you would need to indent the second nested list item by seven spaces.
100. First list item
- First nested list item
- Second nested list item
For more examples, see the GitHub Flavored Markdown Spec.
Task lists
タスク リストを作成するには、リスト アイテ� の前に空白、ハイフン、[ ] を付けます。 完了したタスクをマークするには、[x] を使います。
- [x] #739
- [ ] https://github.com/octo-org/octo-repo/issues/740
- [ ] Add delight to the experience when all tasks are complete :tada:
If a task list item description begins with a parenthesis, you'll need to escape it with \:
- [ ] \(Optional) Open a followup issue
For more information, see "About task lists."
Mentioning people and teams
You can mention a person or team on GitHub Enterprise Server by typing @ plus their username or team name. This will trigger a notification and bring their attention to the conversation. People will also receive a notification if you edit a comment to mention their username or team name. For more information about notifications, see "About notifications."
Note: A person will only be notified about a mention if the person has read access to the repository and, if the repository is owned by an organization, the person is a member of the organization.
@github/support What do you think about these updates?
When you mention a parent team, members of its child teams also receive notifications, simplifying communication with multiple groups of people. For more information, see "About teams."
Typing an @ symbol will bring up a list of people or teams on a project. The list filters as you type, so once you find the name of the person or team you are looking for, you can use the arrow keys to select it and press either tab or enter to complete the name. For teams, enter the @organization/team-name and all members of that team will get subscribed to the conversation.
The autocomplete results are restricted to repository collaborators and any other participants on the thread.
Referencing issues and pull requests
You can bring up a list of suggested issues and pull requests within the repository by typing #. Type the issue or pull request number or title to filter the list, and then press either tab or enter to complete the highlighted result.
For more information, see "Autolinked references and URLs."
Referencing external resources
カスタ� の自動リンク参照がリポジトリに設定されているなら、JIRAのIssueやZendeskのチケットのような外部リソースへの参照は、短縮リンクに変換されます。 リポジトリで利用できる自動リンクを知るには、リポジトリの管理権限を持つ人に連絡してく� さい。 詳細については、「外部リソースを参照する自動リンクの構成」を参照してく� さい。
Content attachments
Some GitHub Apps provide information in GitHub Enterprise Server for URLs that link to their registered domains. GitHub Enterprise Server renders the information provided by the app under the URL in the body or comment of an issue or pull request.
To see content attachments, you must have a GitHub App that uses the Content Attachments API installed on the repository.
Content attachments will not be displayed for URLs that are part of a markdown link.
For more information about building a GitHub App that uses content attachments, see "Using Content Attachments."
Uploading assets
You can upload assets like images by dragging and dropping, selecting from a file browser, or pasting. You can upload assets to issues, pull requests, comments, and .md files in your repository.
Using emoji
You can add emoji to your writing by typing :EMOJICODE:.
@octocat :+1: This PR looks great - it's ready to merge! :shipit:
Typing : will bring up a list of suggested emoji. The list will filter as you type, so once you find the emoji you're looking for, press Tab or Enter to complete the highlighted result.
For a full list of available emoji and codes, check out the Emoji-Cheat-Sheet.
Paragraphs
You can create a new paragraph by leaving a blank line between lines of text.
Hiding content with comments
You can tell GitHub Enterprise Server to hide content from the rendered Markdown by placing the content in an HTML comment.
<!-- This content will not appear in the rendered Markdown -->
Ignoring Markdown formatting
You can tell GitHub Enterprise Server to ignore (or escape) Markdown formatting by using \ before the Markdown character.
Let's rename \*our-new-project\* to \*our-old-project\*.
For more information, see Daring Fireball's "Markdown Syntax."
