Github Fork Ribbon As a big user on Github this basic code snippet blew my mind. You can quickly generate Github corner ribbons in your webpage using CSS3 transform properties. This is perfect for open source plugins or code packs which have a popular following on Github. Also great for hosted HTML/CSS/JS demos if you have an active Github repo.

.ribbon {
    background-color: #a00;
    overflow: hidden;
    /* top left corner */
    position: absolute;
    left: -3em;
    top: 2.5em;
    /* 45 deg ccw rotation */
    -moz-transform: rotate(-45deg);
    -webkit-transform: rotate(-45deg);
    /* shadow */
    -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 1em #888;
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 1em #888;
}
