Communicate using Markdown

Organize ideas and collaborate using Markdown, a lightweight language for text formatting.

Welcome

GitHub is about more than code. It's a platform for software collaboration, and Markdown is one of the most important ways developers can make their communication clear and organized in issues and pull requests. This course will walk you through creating and using headings more effectively, organizing thoughts in bulleted lists, and showing how much work you've completed with checklists. You can even use Markdown to add some depth to your work with the help of emoji, images, and links.

Who is this for: New developers, new GitHub users, and students.
What you'll learn: Use Markdown to add lists, images, and links in a comment or text file.
What you'll build: We'll update a plain text file and add Markdown formatting, and you can use this file to start your own GitHub Pages site.
Prerequisites: In this course you will work with pull requests as well as edit files. If these things aren't familiar to you, we recommend you take theIntroduction to GitHub course, first!
How long: This course takes less than one hour to complete.

In this course, you will:

Add headers
Add an image
Add a code example
Make a task list
Merge your pull request
