GitHub : new look

GitHub blog announced a new look and navigation for the programmers’ best friend.  Have a look at some of the screenshots, say “WOW!” and rush back to your repositories, looking for the magic “Enable Repository Next” button.

GitHub : new look

 

This being a big change and GitHub being such a crucial daily tool for so many people, the changes will be rolled out slowly.  So you might need a bit of luck or time to see it right now.  Gladly, my repositories do have the feature, and once switched to, they do look better.  Navigation is simpler indeed, but will need a little getting used to, as I have it in the muscle memory by now.  I also like a tiny bit of more color added, as the white and lightly not white were slightly disorienting after long coding and merging hours.

To the GitHub team: thank you guys, you are awesome! Please keep doing what you are doing – it’s obviously working.

How can I block Facebook app and game invitations once and for all?

People keep asking, so here goes the answer:

You can block app invites from specific friends from Privacy Settings » Manage Blocking » Block app invites, and you can block specific apps from Privacy Settings » Manage Blocking » Block apps. If you do not use any Facebook apps or games and want to block them all from seeing any of your information or sending you invites, you can turn off Facebook Platform completely by going to Privacy Settings » Apps, Games, and Websites and clicking Turn off all apps.
