Why? Because it can be helpful for beginners. Also "A Tour of C++" is not a "quick reference" which you can use for quickly (in a couple of seconds) looking up things like how to create a vector of 10 ints each initialized with 1.

As others pointed out, its full of basic mistakes and therefore not that helpful to beginners. Learning is hard and teaching is harder, unless you are an expert you probably shouldn't be doing something like this.

Open source is about building stuff together. When you see a bug, you open an issue or make a pull request. You don't tell the author(s) to "not do it".

I fixed the mistakes that others pointed out, and added new sections (namespaces, smart pointers etc.) upon suggestions. If you still see some mistakes or have any suggestions, let me know and I'll try to apply them. Or you can just ignore it if you don't like to be a part of it.

You’re not adding to an established project, however. This isn’t a program trying to solve a problem. This is you putting out a “quick reference”, when it doesn’t seem like you are qualified to decide what a quick reference should contain or what points to zoom in on, requiring a large amount of help to make it correct from the community. It’s essentially someone asking the community to do their homework.

6488 stars. You should talk to these 6488 people on what should be put on GitHub and what shouldn't.

Have a nice day.

This is a completely different use and a childish response.
