##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.

Once upon a time there was a printer who lived in the woods.  He was a
lonely printer, because nobody knew how to configure him.  He hoped
and hoped for someone to play with.

One day, the wind passed by the printer's cottage.  "Whoosh," said the
wind.  The printer became excited.  Maybe the wind would be his
friend!

5 entertaining things you can find with the GitHub Search API

Let's have some command-line fun with curl, [jq][1], and the [new GitHub Search API][2].

Today we're looking for:

• The hottest repositories created in the last week.
• The oldest user accounts with zero followers. (So sad.)
• Issue trends by language.
• Clojure projects defying convention.

# Original Rails controller and action
class EmployeesController < ApplicationController
  def create
    @employee = Employee.new(employee_params)
    
    if @employee.save
      redirect_to @employee, notice: "Employee #{@employee.name} created"
    else
      render :new
    end

PSQL

Magic words:

psql -U postgres

Some interesting flags (to see all, use -h or --help depending on your psql version):

• -E: will describe the underlaying queries of the \ commands (cool for learning!)
• -l: psql will list all databases and then exit (useful if the user you connect with doesn't has a default database, like at AWS RDS)

# Generate a new pgp key: (better to use gpg2 instead of gpg in all below commands)
gpg --gen-key
# maybe you need some random work in your OS to generate a key. so run this command: `find ./* /home/username -type d | xargs grep some_random_string > /dev/null`

# check current keys:
gpg --list-secret-keys --keyid-format LONG

# See your gpg public key:
gpg --armor --export YOUR_KEY_ID
# YOUR_KEY_ID is the hash in front of `sec` in previous command. (for example sec 4096R/234FAA343232333 => key id is: 234FAA343232333)
