G-code is frequently used in CNC to control the moving/heating/spinning parts of the tool according to the user's instructions. As it is generated for a specific machine, it is rarely a good idea to use old or foreign G-code!

Besides G-code generators like Cura you may need single commands now and then - there is an exhaustive overview in the RepRapWiki.
CNC Routing
