That’s ancient.
That’s right, it goes in the square hole.
“What the user needed” / “What management demanded”
I, unfortunately, have to use GitHub at $DAYJOB and this is me. I navigate most of the webpage via the URL bar now.
Basically, let’s say I’m working on a repo
github.com/tomato/sauce/
and want to navigate to the Releases page.Via the webpage:
- Type
github.com
into the URL bar. - Don’t find
tomato/sauce/
in the list of recent repos, even though it’s the only repo I work on. - Click on some other repo that’s at least in the
tomato/
org. - Navigate up to the
tomato/
org. - Find the
sauce/
repo in the list. - Traverse half the fucking screen to hit the “Releases” heading in the middle of the About-section.
Via the Firefox URL bar:
- Type
gi→t→s→r→
. - Hit Enter.
I admit, it’s hard to compete with the latter, but I wouldn’t know how to navigate that way, if the former wasn’t so terrible.
What kind of sicko try to find their repos from the recent list on the main page??
This is me, but with my work’s Azure DevOps. Nice to meet a fellow auto-complete bro.
