I really never go to the GitHub home page. I’ve maybe been to GitHub.com five times in 15 years.
I go directly to projects and I find projects 95% through word of mouth, coworkers, friends, articles and 5% through GitHub search.
But my normal workflow is to go to work repos directly and do my job.
I never go to my “feed” page but it shows every once in a while after I do stuff like transfer repos and it’s just a bunch of meaningless noise.
- siminuk 4y agoHi! GitHub PM here! We're looking at rethinking the home page to be most useful to people beyond the feed. How do you remember the repos to go to? Do you also have to go to other primitives on GitHub and if so do you rely on browser history? Would love to hear more about your workflow - if easiest please follow up via email siminapasat <at> github.com. I appreciate your input! Thanks :)
- prepend 4y agoI typically work in orgs so I either go to the org and search for the repo name. And sometimes I just click on the link in my email to the PR or whatnot. And sometimes I just look at “git remote -v” to see where the repo is. I don’t use browser history or bookmarks and usually follow the above.
