Thank you for taking the time to write this up and mock up your suggestion. I could not agree more on your changes. (Might have some issues with the position of the new buttons and lack of releases link but that’s minor).
The only thing I’d add back somehwere under the description would be the languages the project uses and its labels.
- yoz-y 8y agoThe author removed all functionality they don't use. I could do the same with Photoshop and end up with a tool that nobody wants. I believe that GitHub has way better metrics for knowing which functionalities have to be put forward. As a personal note, the author removed the Projects tab, which is the reason I moved back to GitHub from Bitbucket.
- wedn3sday 8y agoThere is one good point in the post, which is that it would be cool if things not used by the repo were automatically hidden (but still accessible if you want to start using them). Dont have a wiki? Dont show the wiki button (hide it under "more"). Dont use Projects? Hide the Project tab.
- yoz-y 8y agoThat is already the case though. You can disable wikis, projects and issues and if you do so they will not show up. Granted it is kind of opt-out rather than opt-in, but I think that if you are starting with GitHub it is better to see what is available and if you are experienced you know what to do to hide them. In the end I disagree with the author that gratuitously hiding stuff under some submenu is good if there is no need to save space.
