Notes

Performance

Moving the href attribute to the beginning of an element improves compression when GZIP is enabled, because the href attribute is used in a, base and link tags.

Example:

<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400,700" rel="stylesheet">

Guide

The HEAD repository consists of two branches:

1. master

This branch consists of the README.md file that is automatically reflected on the <head> Cheat Sheet website. All changes to the content of the cheat sheet as such should be directed to this file.

Please follow these steps for pull requests:

  • Modify only one tag, or one related set of tags at a time
  • Use double quotes on attributes
  • Don't include a trailing slash in self-closing elements — the HTML5 spec says they're optional
  • Consider including a link to documentation that supports your change

2. gh-pages

This branch is responsible for the <head> Cheat Sheet website. We use Jekyll to deploy the README.md Markdown file through GitHub Pages. All website related modifications must be directed here.

You might want to go through the Jekyll Docs and understand how Jekyll works before working on this branch.
