I don't like how the "checks" (actions run on the latest commit) are shown. Feels very off in the rest of the modern GUI. Way too small of a box. Too dark of a background blur/dim. |

Looks terrible IMO, why are you trying so hard to ruin the UI every few weeks?! Just leave it as it is, no one is complaining... FFS... |

I like how at the bottom of repositories' home view, you can now tab between the README and the other important MD files. Nice to see. However, I notice that that section no longer has an anchor target. Currently, I can link to e.g. https://github.com/AprilSylph/XKit-Rewritten#readme and have the README shown to end users immediately. This allows the repository to double as a project homepage without setting up GitHub Pages, which I find especially valuable when the project has a separate wiki. I hope to see this feature return, as this new view looks like a great opportunity to actually expand upon it, e.g. linking to https://github.com/AprilSylph/XKit-Rewritten#license instead of https://github.com/AprilSylph/XKit-Rewritten/blob/master/LICENSE. Thanks for the consideration! |

First thing I noticed is that the toolbar above the readme no longer sticks to the top of the page as you scroll past it. Having easy access to the ToC menu that it houses is quite essential for navigating long readme files. Also that ToC dropdown menu button seems broken - clicking it doesn't show the menu. The main site footer has also disappeared from the page. If this isn't already the case, repository owners should have control over which files that toolbar shows besides the readme. The glance-able total number of branches and tags that used to show above the list of files seems to be gone. Since links to these pages are still listed in the repo sidebar, perhaps the counts could be added back there just like how its done for the stars, forks, and watchers sidebar links. Clicking the green "code" button in the top right now always opens on a new codespaces tab. At least save the tab the user selected last (globally, not per repo - please). Advertising GitHubs paid products is fine, but don't let it get in my way of getting shit done. |

it's ugly, so why don't you let me customise it ? it's also slower, like everything else you have rewritten in react so far |

When you have absolutely no margin on both sides of the buttons and repo name is so much ugly and you will have to reach a long way. When you have a large margin on both sides, but then the navbar is full width, just bad |

Here goes the stucking on the screen |

I like the new overview. The tabs of important files (readme, license) is very nice as well. As others have stated: Having the toolbar sticky again would be an improvement. |

There is no way to go to Readme for large repos. |

The Code of Conduct and Security tabs should use the organizational community health files where they aren't present in the repository, before suggesting that the files be added to the repo, in my opinion |

The worst thing i ever saw |

It isn't detecting my Code of Conduct and Security Policy located in the special .github repository that is for community health files https://github.com/HotCakeX/Harden-Windows-Security Also add a Back to Top button Currently I'm doing this Which works but an official Back to Top button would be much better, specially one that uses smooth scrolling instead of teleporting to the top of the page. |

I absolutely prefer command palette and loved it so far. This is too much in your face. |

On https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages it doesn't list all directories. There is also a cut off with the old view, but there was a message that not all files were shown at least. Now it just randomly is missing files. |

I spent quite some time trying to find the button that allows me to see all the branches. I feel like it should be somewhere more obvious than at the bottom of a popup, but tbh I don't have a concrete suggestion. |

Love the tabs generally, it's very nice for quickly getting to all the common places I want to go on repos that I'm new to... one issue I found is that on archived repositories etc. the "add a readme" button is still there... but it leads to a blank page. It might be nice to hide it in cases like that where you can't edit (readme button on an archived repo) |

big files are failing to render sporadically: https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md (failing with the "page is taking too long to load" unicorn) |

Yeah, I see some big issues with the organisation of the new page in addition to a couple of design nits. Overall, it's a downgrade.
One positive is I do think file search is a big plus, and raising the Code button next to Star/Watch makes more sense. I think there's a lot you could do to actually improve the UX for new users / repo discovery, which makes this a tame, disappointing update.

Please add some space (padding, etc.) at the end of the file tree. I always feel like there is something more to see, but this list just came out suddenly. |

There's a bug in the right-hand sidebar: It shows the number of forks from the base repository, since the fork itself doesn't have any own forks: |

Should this be unpinned? The feature preview does not appear to be available: |

Thanks for trying GitHub's new repository overview page. This preview brings some of the new code navigation features to the overview page such as the find file input and shows key repository files such as the 'code of conduct' and 'license' files in tabs alongside he Readme. This preview can be enabled through the feature preview pane.
We are dedicated to making GitHub the best code navigation experience on the web. If you encounter any issues or have suggestions on how we can improve the experience, please share below. We will review all feedback!
