`GitHub historically has been top notch from an accessibility standpoint. Full marks there.
But the recent trend to start hiding things in the GitHub UI is driving me up the wall. They're hiding the files in a repo by default, they're burying the SSH cloning info under a "Download" button (huh?), good luck finding the branch listing link. GitHub is not a UI that needs to be "simpler", it needs to be functional given its audience.
Edit: Clarifying which cloning info I'm referring to.
- quink 6y ago> they're burying the repo cloning info I didn’t know websites could hide the address bar.
- rustyminnow 6y agoIf you have 2fa turned on (which is really a good idea and enforced in a lot of orgs) you can't clone private repos or push changes with the https protocol - you need the ssh/git url
- quink 6y agoYes you can. Personal access tokens.
- edoceo 6y agoI think they meant the clone links in the UI which used to show the https and ssh based repo links with copy button.
