Too many rounded corners for my taste. Functionaly, I'm having trouble finding things. Half of it is just because it's new but honestly some of it is due to stretching information apart.

Agree completely. Feels like a huge step backwards. Maybe usage metrics show most users are using a much smaller window size, but the layout is all over the place on my 27" monitor (2560x1440).

Some of us like to code with git / bitbucket / gitlab side by side with our IDE so we can reference existing issues more directly while writing code. Which reminds me I need a better screen resolution... 1080p is so 2016.
It's 30cm/1ft between the Issues button and the main table.
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. Having said that, I'm comparing using the Wayback Machine: new: https://github.com/torvalds/linux old: https://web.archive.org/web/20200619163555/https://github.co... and I can't find it in me to dislike the changes they've made. They've removed the double repo na…
Because like many developers I use Github dozens of times a day and it's a major regression.
It's the equivalent of giving a Chef a blunt knife and wondering why he's complaining about it.

I highly doubt that's the case for most people when using Github on a daily basis though.
Really? I found that I only really look at the code when I look at projects I'm involved in. Usually though I use GitHub for discovery and then I care much more about the languages, commits, releases and Readme.
I submitted feedback over it but, aside from the over-reliance on rounded corners, and making pills and buttons hard to separate, the single worst change is that you can't see the latest commit status from the repo screen. Instead, you get the commit hash, and have to click a tiny ellipsis button to get the commit message and the status indicator. When I'm browsing on github and not using git directly, the commit sho…
Thanks for the feedback about the latest commit status. This is something we should definitely fix. Also – I don't think there is a principle of lowering information density at work here. I think it's just a design that we will keep iterating. We are pro information density at GitHub.
I changed 2 things and that's the result:

Disable:
`border-top: 0 !important;`
from .border-top-0
Set this class to this value:
.color-blue-3 { color: rgba(3,47,98,.5) }

I find it much more difficult now to line up filename and last modified time in the file browser. And I agree on the low density. Plus it now looks like a children's toy, not like a work tool. A while ago, there was an article on HN about kawaii cuteness culture sneaking into everything. It appears that has happened here.
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'm curious, what exactly has broken in your workflow? The biggest issue I see is that you are unable to see build status on a commit (above the file list), but otherwise nothing really has changed too much in my opinion.
1. On larger monitors e.g. 4K the menus are on the far left whilst the content is in the middle which makes it far more of an effort to navigate around.
2. Row separators have disappeared so I have to be a lot more deliberate about which file I am clicking now since it's a lot easier to mis-click.
3. Buttons are a mess. You can't distinguish what is a button and what is not e.g. Clone versus the Open Issue label.
4. Clone button is so prominent. I only do this once per repo and yet it's like a giant CTA begging you to click it. Likewise for the folder icons. No need for them to be coloured.
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.
I gave feedback too and never heard anything. The rounded corners look cartoonish, the header is terrible, moving releases and using a new column at the right is terrible. Seriously w-t-h are they thinking? there was literally nothing wrong with their existing UI.
Also show latest release link with summary.
They are following the trends of flat design and rounded corners, which I don’t really mind. I’m more bothered by the fact that nothing is aligned: the GitHub logo, the breadcrumb, the horizontal menu and the issue title are all on different verticals. Looks messy.
Also, on mobile I'm not really sure how to go directly to commits to master.
Edit: figured it out...
