Isn't the logical solution to this prefixing user urls with something like /u/ or /user/? Off the top of my head I can think of reddit doing this but I suppose for github the downside of this is it would break a huge number of existing links. One of those slightly un-winnable situations unless you think of it from the start I suppose.
- aylmao 9y agoI think unprefixed user urls was the right decision; I love GitHub URLs and how easy to manually type they are. I can imagine user urls are typed more often than info page urls. Also, they could always just prefix their pages instead. (ie, github.com/about/xxx, github.com/info/xxx).
- EthanHeilman 9y agoI really hope they don't prefix user urls. Github is one of the only sites I can navigate by just typing in the name of url. It also makes git tasks at the command line easier.
