GitHub For Dummies
GitHub related ONLY: Give me a 500 term vocabulary list sorted by popularity in usage (by commonly used / frequency of use in codebases). That means 500 terms, not 500 words. DO NOT REPEAT YOURSELF. Acronyms related to GitHub technology are allowed but they must be expanded. e.g. RAII (Resource Acquisition Is Initialization). The terms should have to do ONLY with and SPECIFICALLY with GitHub, CANNOT include generic operating system terms, generic IT terms, or computing terms. No definitions. Just the words. Each word should be surrounded by double brackets and separated by a comma and on the same lines. e.g. robots, robotics. Etc.
