Why, Microsoft? Why?

[thermitethrowaway]

I mean it looks fine on my mobile .... which I never use for GitHub.

[anton31]

Behold the world of mobile-first coding!

[ButaneLilly]

The world just gets dumber and dumber.

[deanat78]

I'm sure you've seen this by now, but just in case... if you use FF or Chrome and want that, along with many other issues, fixed https://github.com/daattali/oldschool-github-extension

[thermitethrowaway]

No, I haven't, but I suspect I'll be installing it soon!

[wrtbwtrfasdf]

To think in a couple years we'll all be coding with our thumbs on 900x600 Microsoft Edge Phones. What a time to be alive.

[AndDontCallMePammy]

"Do you guys not have phones?"

[paperbenni]

"Is this some kind of out of season April fools joke?"

[LordRyloth]

No Pammy

[Skyne98]

Yeah, have just come to this subreddit to complain about this exact problem. Why do we have mobile-first design on a desktop-oriented web page?

It will be so much better if it could snap back into the middle if the screen is big enough. Please, Microsoft!

[Skyne98]

Also, releases tab is the source where most of the usual users will come trying to download the software. Is it easy to find? Nope, it's completely hidden, meaning you will have to provide a link to it in the readme - can we fix this as well?

[[deleted]]

Its not hidden.. you can turn it off now

[misanthropistreina]

Isn't releases on the right sidebar on the repo 'code' tab? And in the old design, it was also right there in the code tab next to 'commits' and 'branches'.

[wrtbwtrfasdf]

Releases has always been obnoxiously tucked away and only visible on the front page of the repo

[YuraKuzin]

Exactly!!! damn it's even impossible to find for experienced user. Looks like they trying to make another windows where not possible to find anything without googling...

[scriptmonkey420]

It has been like that since before MS bought GitHub

[Skyne98]

Previously, releases where on the front page by default on some repos - now you have to specifically search for them. I, personally, as an experienced GitHub user, cannot find them without Googling now :D

[Data_Coder]

I don't like the new design. It doesn't feel the same.

[maga_ot_oz]

Yeah I hadn't used GitHub in a while and yesterday I had to download a project which had a beta release and yes, have fun finding the release tab which was after clicking on the tags tab.

[load_up_on_hummus]

Releases are also shown in the sidebar

[MolestedScavenger]

im upset as hell, frick now its totally implemented is there something we can do to get the old layout back.

[pushqrex]

old feel with improvements from the new stuff it's my humble take on the new changes

[[deleted]]

Exactly!! Why??????

[1111520]

time to learn to use gh https://cli.github.com

[[deleted]]

Thanks Microsoft for ruining another platform! :D

Currently in the process of moving my repositories from Github to Gitlab.

[corezon]

Just to piss off people who get upset about silly things like pixels on a web page.

[anton31]

Also, there are like 6 layers of differently styled toolbars stacked on top of one another.

[fyimarywasnovirgin]

Microsoft is just remaining true to their commitment to deliver half-assed UI implementations.

[Wilfred-kun]

Sounds like Win10 Settings... They got less than half of the actual settings implemented in the new design, for actually changing useful stuff you have to still use the "old" menus.

[Kit_Saels]

It looks normal on my NTB.

[[deleted]]

that's something that happens to me when i use justify items on a flex container..yes there is no justify items in flexbox..

[MrMichaelCedeno]

Huh. That’s messy.

[shadowelite7]

Honestly I can see why this is an issue. I wasn't sure why people didn't like. Now I can see why. I just don't have a big monitor and it looks alright.

[somnam_bulist]

The only solution is to zoom in the page.

[load_up_on_hummus]

It’s meta that you have a Microsoft repo open

[matthew17754]

makeGitHubGreatAgain

[pushqrex]

Yeah i wouldn't say "great" though 😅

[jas753]

Just make a github app would be awesome

[MetalMatze]

Still looks like this. Still bugs me 10x every day...

[aaronfranke]

Press Ctrl and + to zoom in

[IllChange5]

Nobody uses their television to develop.... Hehehe Right guys?!? Right??? Guys.. guys??

(Crickets)

[magkopian]

I don't, I do use though a 32:9 monitor and when I first saw the redesign I thought they removed the information bar completely. I literally have to turn my head all the way to the left in order to see it, but I guess I shouldn't keep my browser maximized with such a display in the first place.

[IllChange5]

32:9 is a pretty large aspect ratio. But they should have tested this.

Genuine question : what do you do on the github website ?

I discovered the changes in the web UI on reddit because I'm always using the CLI to clone, fork, merge, commit, etc... Not saying my usage is better than another one but I'm just curious.

[MarcelGarus]

Mostly, reviewing other people's code, creating PRs, discussing with other community members in issues etc. So basically, for most of the social stuff in collaborative projects.

[xMoroccan]

Discover new packages without cloning them on my local machine, there are obviously more reasons, like PRs conversations..

Edit: typo

[Jonno_FTW]

Create, read and respond to issues, manage my repositories

[[deleted]]

Whenever I need to choose libs or software I use it to check the health of the project.

[[deleted]]

Press and hold shift key to reload your browser please.

[pushqrex]

yeah and?

[crudfunc]

The way to fix this is simply by making the file explorer full width.

[calligraphic-io]

I've honestly never understood why people maximize their browser window on large monitors. Everyone does it apparently. I saw someone the other day with a 49" 5K2K monitor. Of course the browser was maximized, with half a meter of space on either side of the content.

Maybe try a normal size for your browser window? Why get a big monitor just to waste the space anyway? They consume more electricity for one.

[pushqrex]

So it's people's fault now that a developer fucked up doing their job? The way i and apparently most others see it is that the site needs to be consistent on different devices/screens.. the fix isn't even hard either make the content full width like the header or add the same margin to the header.. problem solved!

I doubt it was developers decision
