What about determining the language and license? That used to be front and center and two of the most important things when I land on a repo page.
I highly doubt that's the case for most people when using Github on a daily basis though.
Quick hack for Ublock Origin users to get everything lined up again (add this to your filters): github.com#$#body{ max-width: 1280px !important; margin-right: auto !important; margin-left: auto !important; }
Did GitHub only test their new layout on 4/3 screens? It looks so odd when the project header is fluid but the project itself is still centered and 1280px wide. Especially if you log out of GitHub, in which case the GitHub banner is no longer fluid and makes the project header look really out of place[1].

and I can't find it in me to dislike the changes they've made. They've removed the double repo navbar in favor of just 1. They've added a right-sidebar that shows various info about the repo in general, like what the last release is. Before, I would open the branch/tag list to look at the versions; now, it's plain as day in the sidebar. For the main contributors, I no longer need to go to insights > contributors. They're shown in the sidebar. For the main languages, I no longer need to click on the thin color line. I find that the most common bits of info about a repo that I sought are now displayed in the main repo page. That's an improvement.
I don't understand why people are complaining like it's an absolute disaster. It's not perfect, sure, but this seems to bring significant improvements.
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…
> I guess people with huge displays don't mind... I use a ultra-wide (2560x1080) monitor and it looks terrible [1]. The repository header being "fluid" put the repository name and watch/star/fork buttons so far out of the rest of the repository info, like branch name, commit info etc., that using GitHub maximized feels very weird and tiring. I get using the whole resolution for the menu bar, since its content is disc…
For example, the repository languages used to be at the top center of the page, while now I need to scroll past the bottom of the screen and find the information off centered in an awkward place.
The stars and other top bar links are off centered in an awkward way for the mouse and the eyes. Also, the profile tabs are less accessible because followers are now on the other side of the screen instead of in the convenient tab location.
Please contact GitHub with your feedback if you also think it's less accessible design.
Sign up for the developer feature previews, so you can give feedback to these changes before they're published. I gave some negative feedback about it earlier regarding this change, but it seems I might have been a part of the minority.
Lots of hate here. I probably don't use GitHub as much as others here, so I can understand that any change adds friction and people are going to hate that.
