##How Homakov hacked GitHub and the line of code that could have prevented it

Please note: THIS ARTICLE IS NOT WRITTEN BY THE GITHUB TEAM or in any way associated with them. It's simply hosted as a Gist because the markdown formatting is excellent and far clearer than anything I could manage on my personal Tumblr at peternixey.com.

	This is an HTML version of a great [VIM movements cheatsheet][] designed by Ted Naleid.

	I made this because I wanted more control over the way the text was displayed, and I'd rather tweak CSS than mess with Omnigraffle. If you just want Ted's graphic overlaid on your desktop, you should download the [transparent version] of the VIM movements cheatsheet.

	I use it with [NerdTool][]. Sadly, NerdTool can't overlay transparent HTML. So I supply a background-image URL. You'll want to change that to something on your local filesystem. Here is a [screenshot][] of the results. The background image is taken from the always great [Bibliodyssey][], resized to the size of my screen.
