+# Go To Beginning And End Of Line
+
+There are two movements that I often find useful in Vim when trying to position
+my cursor relative to the current line.
+
+- `0` - go to the first character of the line
+- `$` - go to the end of the line
+
+For instance, I may use `0` to jump to beginning of a line so that I can then
+make a block-visual selection of several lines to insert some text in front of
+each line.
+
+Or perhaps I'm already in visual mode and I want to move the cursor (and visual
+selection) to the end of the line. I hit `$` to do that. Then I might `y`
+(yank) or `c` (delete into insert mode).
+
+It's also worth noting that with code indentation, `0` moves the cursor to the
+very first position of the line whereas `^` moves the cursor to the first
+non-whitespace character. The former essentially accounts for code indentation.
+For example, imagine you're in the middle of line 3 in the following example.
+Depending on what you're trying to do, you may want to jump to one or the other
+position.
+
+```ruby
+class Greeting
+  def hello(name)
+    puts "Hello, #{name || 'world'}!" # say hi
+  end
+end
+```
+
+See `:h 0` for Vim help files on these motions. They are all located near each
+other.
