The redesigned navigation of GitHub has recently been introduced as a public beta, aiming to make the platform more user-friendly, accessible, and integral to users’ workflow. In this article, we will explore the new features and improvements in GitHub’s navigation, taking into account the diverse user base that includes developers, designers, open source contributors, and enterprise users of various skill levels.
GitHub’s user base is vast and diverse, with developers, designers, open source contributors, and enterprise users leveraging the platform for a wide array of tasks. The redesigned navigation has been carefully crafted to cater to the needs of everyone and to foster a more seamless and enjoyable experience for all users.
The introduction of breadcrumbs offers users a more convenient means to navigate the site, making it easier to determine their location within the platform structure and traverse the hierarchy.
With the site-wide menu, users can quickly access frequently visited areas such as issues, pull requests, and discussions. Links to teams and most-used repositories are also accessible through this menu. To open the site-wide menu, click the hamburger button located at the top left of the window.
The site-wide menu also allows users to filter their repositories and teams, making it easier to find and manage their projects.
Essential links like issues, pull requests, and notifications can now be reached with just one click, located in the upper-right corner of each page.
Finding and jumping to code snippets, organizations, or other users has never been easier with the improvements in the code search and command palette integration.
Clicking the GitHub logo (Mona) still leads users to their home dashboard, while clicking the avatar opens the user menu.
The updated navigation has been designed and tested with assistive technologies to provide a comprehensive and inclusive experience. GitHub’s commitment to improving the developer experience for people with disabilities is evident in these changes.
The platform’s navigation is now consistent and responsive across all devices, with mobile users experiencing notable improvements in usability.
The redesigned navigation employs GitHub’s open-source design system, Primer, which provides a new aesthetic while maintaining familiarity for long-term users.
GitHub’s redesigned navigation brings a plethora of benefits and improvements to its users, including better wayfinding, streamlined essential links, improved accessibility, and seamless mobile experience. GitHub’s commitment to providing a more accessible and efficient platform manifests in these changes, catering to the needs of their diverse user base while continually striving for enhancement. With this public beta, the GitHub community can look forward to an even more refined experience in the days to come.
Up until working with Casey, we had only had poor to mediocre experiences outsourcing work to agencies. Casey & the team at CJ&CO are the exception to the rule.
Communication was beyond great, his understanding of our vision was phenomenal, and instead of needing babysitting like the other agencies we worked with, he was not only completely dependable but also gave us sound suggestions on how to get better results, at the risk of us not needing him for the initial job we requested (absolute gem).
This has truly been the first time we worked with someone outside of our business that quickly grasped our vision, and that I could completely forget about and would still deliver above expectations.
I honestly can’t wait to work in many more projects together!
