I do like that sponsors appears more prominently; for a very long time financial incentives have been an unsolved problem in open source.
Like many others, I use Github every day. Changes like this add friction to our workflow. There better be a damn good reason for these changes, otherwise it's a pointless redesign that looks no better than it did previously while simultaneously adding a slight overhead as users "learn" the new layout. Does anyone know of an option to revert this update?
I wonder if MS has gone back on their word to leave GitHub to it's own devices...?
I have been unable to find a method to revert. Best option might be to make a bunch of noise. Other than that, it's migration time.
I can't relate to the OP's preference for Gitlab's UI. Gitlab UI is the reason why I don't use Gitlab.
I've been really happy with Github Dark: https://github.com/StylishThemes/GitHub-Dark I can't relate to the OP's preference for Gitlab's UI. Gitlab UI is the reason why I don't use Gitlab.
I do not like Jira, and if GitHub starts to be Jira, definitely looking elsewhere.
GitLab seems like the next best option. Any other suggestions welcome too!
I like it, better use of horizontal space.
Like scroll down a readme, is all that space on the right better usage?
I really like it!
Example repository of a project that's invested in using GitHub: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs Discussion on /r/github: https://www.reddit.com/r/github/comments/hei81f/ Personally I think it's an improvement on mobile - finally the entire README is readable by default. That being said was there any warning/reasoning behind the change? I cannot find any announcements.
...because usage of Github from mobile is so important /s
Looks absolutely horrible. I use a laptop as my main dev machine, and all these 16px and 30px paddings that they added everywhere create real tunnel vision experience. I guess people with huge displays don't mind... But I absolutely do. Looks like another case when a frontend team does something to justify their existence. But let's look at the positives: the last redesign of that sort helped me to completely migrate…
Maybe they need a good introspective period in their art, or some psychology classes?
Honestly, it's a positive improvement. Better information layout, and the code is still front and center. None of the core functions really changed place, just changed padding a little.
I don't see what's wrong with it. One thing I love about it is that I can now finally read readmes even if the window is only half or even a third of the width of my screen. Other then that it just looks a bit more modern. One thing I just slightly dislike is that the width of the body is limited, but not the width of the header. Looks inconsistent.
They used to be full width no matter how wide your window was (I put to 1/2 for browser). Now they only occupy 70% of that space. So I just lost 30% of my readme width to empty space. This is just terrible UX
