It looks like they implemented the github finder project but there is no information on the blog yet.

Im sorry I think the note got cut.

It looks like they've implemented a project mentioned on hacker news a while back called Github File Finder.

Its still up and can be found here, http://sr3d.github.com/GithubFinder/?utm_source=bml&user...

The movement and so seems a bit distracting but its definitely faster than a full page refresh

Are you referring to the new UI behavior (new at least to me, since this is the first time I've seen this) when you click on directories/files in the repository file browser like in https://github.com/git/git for example?

I don't really use the github file browser frequently enough to be able to tell if the async loading of the files/directories is what you're referring to. Plus, linking to the github home page was kind of confusing.

Maybe I just haven't got the update yet, but this looks the same behavior as always...

It looks similar, but is much faster since it loads folder and file views without a page reload.

Yes, it's the new behaviour that he's talking about.

Hmmm I found it a little bit distracting at first.

eh, the slide out to the left is okward, having the file listing slide up and down would feel more natural I would think.
