+# Command Cheatsheet
+
+This page is a quick command reference.
+
+It does not explain every concept in detail.
+
+For explanations, use the full guide and quickstarts.
+
+## Project setup
+
+Create a new project:
+
+```bash
+mkdir example-python-project
+cd example-python-project
+uv init --bare --name example-python-project --python 3.12
+uv python pin 3.12
+```
+
+Create a basic `src/` layout:
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p src/example_project tests
+touch src/example_project/__init__.py
+touch src/example_project/calculator.py
+touch tests/test_calculator.py
+```
+
+Windows PowerShell:
+
+```powershell
+New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force src/example_project
+New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force tests
+New-Item -ItemType File -Force src/example_project/__init__.py
+New-Item -ItemType File -Force src/example_project/calculator.py
+New-Item -ItemType File -Force tests/test_calculator.py
+```
+
+## Dependencies
+
+Add a runtime dependency:
+
+```bash
+uv add package-name
+```
+
+Example:
+
+```bash
+uv add rich
+```
+
+Add a development dependency:
+
+```bash
+uv add --group dev package-name
+```
+
+Examples:
+
+```bash
+uv add --group dev pytest
+uv add --group dev ruff
+```
+
+Sync the local environment:
+
+```bash
+uv sync
+```
+
+Lock dependencies explicitly:
+
+```bash
+uv lock
+```
+
+## Running tools
+
+Run tests:
+
+```bash
+uv run pytest
+```
+
+Run Ruff linting:
+
+```bash
+uv run ruff check .
+```
+
+Check formatting:
+
+```bash
+uv run ruff format --check .
+```
+
+Format files:
+
+```bash
+uv run ruff format .
+```
+
+Run all local checks:
+
+```bash
+uv run ruff check .
+uv run ruff format --check .
+uv run pytest
+```
+
+## Fix formatting and recheck
+
+If formatting fails:
+
+```bash
+uv run ruff format .
+uv run ruff check .
+uv run ruff format --check .
+uv run pytest
+```
+
+## Clone an existing project
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/your-username/your-project.git
+cd your-project
+uv sync
+```
+
+Then run:
+
+```bash
+uv run ruff check .
+uv run ruff format --check .
+uv run pytest
+```
+
+## Git workflow
+
+Update `main`:
+
+```bash
+git switch main
+git pull
+```
+
+Create a branch:
+
+```bash
+git switch -c docs/example-change
+```
+
+Check changed files:
+
+```bash
+git status
+```
+
+Stage a file:
+
+```bash
+git add path/to/file.md
+```
+
+Commit:
+
+```bash
+git commit -m "docs: describe example change"
+```
+
+Push the branch:
+
+```bash
+git push -u origin docs/example-change
+```
+
+After the pull request is merged:
+
+```bash
+git switch main
+git pull
+git branch -d docs/example-change
+```
+
+## Useful commit message examples
+
+Documentation:
+
+```text
+docs: add project glossary
+docs: explain pytest
+docs: update README quickstarts
+```
+
+Project configuration:
+
+```text
+chore: initialize uv project
+chore: configure ruff
+chore: add editorconfig
+```
+
+Tests:
+
+```text
+test: add text statistics tests
+```
+
+CI:
+
+```text
+ci: add GitHub Actions workflow
+```
+
+Feature code:
+
+```text
+feat: add text toolkit package
+```
+
+## GitHub Actions CI
+
+Minimal CI workflow commands:
+
+```bash
+uv python install
+uv sync --locked
+uv run ruff check .
+uv run ruff format --check .
+uv run pytest
+```
+
+CI should use:
+
+```bash
+uv sync --locked
+```
+
+Local development usually uses:
+
+```bash
+uv sync
+```
+
+## Files to commit
+
+Usually commit:
+
+```text
+README.md
+CONTRIBUTING.md
+LICENSE
+pyproject.toml
+uv.lock
+.python-version
+.github/
+docs/
+src/
+tests/
+```
+
+Do not commit:
+
+```text
+.venv/
+__pycache__/
+.pytest_cache/
+.ruff_cache/
+.coverage
+htmlcov/
+```
+
+## Quick local checklist
+
+Before opening a pull request with code changes:
+
+```bash
+git status
+uv sync
+uv run ruff check .
+uv run ruff format --check .
+uv run pytest
+```
+
+Before merging:
+
+```text
+CI is green
+PR title is clear
+PR description explains what changed and why
+Diff has been reviewed
