(a gist based on the old toolmantim article on setting up remote repos)

Read URL GET variable
// Given a query string "?to=email&why=because&first=John&Last=smith"
// getUrlVar("to") will return "email"
// getUrlVar("last") will return "smith"
// Slightly more concise and improved version based on http://www.jquery4u.com/snippets/url-parameters-jquery/
function getUrlVar(key){
var result = new RegExp(key + "=([^&]*)", "i").exec(window.location.search);
return result && unescape(result[1]) || "";

How Homakov hacked GitHub and how to protect your application by Peter Nixey

##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.
