<p>Like many other Github users, I am not a big fan of their recent repository page redesign. In my mind it seems like a change just for the sake of change - the original UI worked perfectly fine.</p>
-
<p><em>Sigh.</em></p>
-
<p>I was planning on recreating the original Github layout with custom CSS but decided against it. Tackling such a big change in design would cause headaches if Github ever changed even one simple class or id on a given element. My final conclusion was to just improve their new design with my own personal quality of life improvements.</p>
-
<p>So, enough chit-chat. Let&#8217;s get into it.</p>

<h2 id="current-design-2020">Current Design (2020)</h2>
-
<p>The default view for a repo&#8217;s homepage and ticket items are locked at a set <code>max-width</code>. This causes some visual strain in comparison to the full-width headers and navigations directly above. I use a decently sized montior when using your app Gitub - <strong>let me use all the space available to me</strong>!</p>

<h2 id="my-improvements">My Improvements</h2>
-
<p>Your users shouldn&#8217;t have to jump around the page looking for the important information they want to see. Resetting the basic repo information to the left side of the screen allows user to <em>instantly</em> read-up on the project details. (This design is catered towards left-to-right readers mind you).</p>
-
<p>We now also utilize all the available screen space, dependent on the user&#8217;s browser window size.</p>
-
<p>We make similar updates to the ticket item view and also remove the out-of-place <code>margin-bottom</code> from the project link headers.</p>

<p>You can very easily implement these custom CSS changes with an extension for the browser of your choice:</p>

</ul>

<p>Then create a new custom CSS file to target <code>github.com</code> with the following properties:</p>
-
<pre><code>.container-xl {
max-width: 100%;
}

<p>That&#8217;s it! Feel free to improve on this and further make it your own! I might create a new repo for this project if I end up adding even more improvements to the core CSS.</p>
