I always find it very frustrating when I open up a github repository such as this, but I am left having to poke around the source itself totally lost trying to figure out what I am supposed to do to use it.

You already spent a lot of your time doing something you felt was good enough to share. Please spend a fraction of that time putting together a simple step-by-step how to for even the most basic use case.

Edit: Found a link in the Readme file to a useful page [1] of HTML5-specific attack vectors and security adviseries. Still not sure what I am supposed to get out of the repository itself, though.

Exactly. Even with rawgithub.com, it doesn't properly work.

People need to use http://pages.github.com/ more.

Anybody else find it hilarious that when you navigate to https://html5sec.org/ they have a series of 3 XSS alert() attack vectors at work?

At first I thought it was intentionally done for demonstration purposes, but now I'm just confused about the site.

The author is using rawgithub.com to serve javascript files, but it seems that they serve 'erroneous' files when used too much.

It's actually kinda funny, they even go up to redefine some Javascript variables such as Infinity[1].

Please fix title -- it is called a "Cheatsheet" in github. I see no spreadsheet anywhere. Thanks.

See https://github.com/cure53/H5SC/issues/2 for the complaint :-)

Raw Github author discussed the abuse issue recently...
