Thanks for your remark. I just discussed it with Dmitriy (CTO) to understand what you mean with the "contextual" sidebar. Compared to GitHub we don't see how the contextual part is more confusing. On GitHub the sidebar is to the right instead of to the left, but it is also contextual.

One thing that might be confusing is that our sidebar is separated more from the page content (different color, out of the way). Maybe that is why you expect it to be static instead of contextual? Edit: Discussing this gave us an idea to improve it, see https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/1958 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/1958 for the idea of adding back links to make it more understandable like folder navigation.
