The layout of your page is really making it hard to read. I feel like the words are trailing off the side of the bounding box. Also I have to scroll all the way right to reach the end of the sentence. I'm sure the information you posted is useful, but I couldn't spend more than 30 seconds on the page.

Thanks for the heads up; seems like there was a layout issue that did not affect Chrome. Should be fixed now.

Awesome! Yeah, looks much better now.

The two things that are useful than jumping.

1. A same-page search on the sidebar so I don't have to switch tab to search and open new links.

2. Split screen to read code like my terminal does.

I've always wanted browser be able to split screen instead of tabs. This add on is quite promising from the demo.

Bravo.

My biggest issue with code navigation on Github is that there doesn't seem to be a way to traverse the file tree without navigating through each directory.

It makes getting an overall sense of the organization of the project a bit of a hurdle until you actually clone the repo and look through it (which is too much work if I'm just glancing at something quickly).

For both new-to-project and new-to-programming folks, I'd argue this is very important as it's a scaffolding mechanism for learning the new system.

You may like this Chrome extension called Octotree. It adds a hierarchy on the left hand side of the page:

+1, I was just about to recommend Octotree. I use it almost daily.

Awesome, I was hoping somebody made this already. Thanks!

Do you know about the 't' hotkey?

Have created something similar enabling cross referenced search both from code and diffs as well at https://tixef.com. Indeed the ability to slice into the details of an implementation can be quite useful for actually understanding the code.

Good job making it a browser extension! The low impact install can build on the individual's desires for a better experience.

We use GitHub Enterprise for our git hosting, code review, and issue tracking, but OpenGrok[1] for code perusal. It's indispensable, though this looks like it could be a useful intermediary.

I've noticed that when I click a line number, it correctly highlights the line and updates the URL as usual, but it also scrolls the code view to the top, which is probably not desired.

Off-topic: With today's changes to Github I can no longer see a commit diff by clicking on the corresponding SHA in the commits page. Any idea where has that gone?

Nope :( It's very strange that the abbreviated SHA isn't clickable. The commit message still is, however.

Also: 1. Better issue search 2. Saving issue queries 3. (This one is far fetched) Add Atom in Github itself so people can work on code from anywhere.

Seriously cool. Please keep working on this!

Also, please make it a sidebar instead of a split bottom navigation bar. that would be much easier to read
