That PR/MR icon is quite terrible, I much prefer github's which actually communicates the idea clearly and abstractly and is uniquely recognisable. This other one is just two squares, it could really mean anything.
- Latty 8y agoThat is fair, I'd say the same thing about "Pull Request" as a name when compared to "Merge Request" though - it's so counter-intuitive to people new to the process. Can we get "Merge Request" with the GitHub icon?
- tomxor 8y agoIt looks like that icon is not part of a public icon library, but the concept of an arrow joining one node to another node in a graph does not belong to github, it just needs an originally drawn icon is all.
- fiblit 8y agoActually, the guide is wrong. That icon is the issue icon. The PR/MR icon is the same: https://i.imgur.com/quxgP81.png https://i.imgur.com/quxgP81.png
- tomxor 8y agoAh ha! that is much better and I see no reason why any git platform couldn't use the same icon concept, it's a good one. Issues are kind of an intentionally vague concept I guess though... they aren't necessarily bugs.
- PleaseHelpMe 8y agoMy bad. I captured the wrong icon. I fixed that in the latest commit.
