Exploring developer happiness, inclusion, and productivity at GitHub’s Design Conference
As a design organization, we have the opportunity to make a significant impact on designing the platform for all developers. How does the emergence of creative AI impact our work? How can we achieve an inclusive experience for a spectrum of all abilities? What does designing for developer happiness look like? These are questions the GitHub Design team asked ourselves in our first-ever internal Design Conference, LGTM. Why did we call the conference LGTM?
Metrics for issues, pull requests, and discussions
Data-driven insights At GitHub, we believe that data-driven insights are the keys to success for any software development project. Understanding the health and progress of your issues, pull requests, and discussions is crucial for effective collaboration, maintainership, and project management.
GitHub CLI project command is now generally available!
Effective planning and tracking is essential for developer teams of all shapes and sizes. Last year, we announced the general availability of GitHub Projects, connecting your planning directly to the work your teams are doing in GitHub. Today, we’re making GitHub Projects faster and more powerful.
Accessibility considerations behind code search and code view
GitHub prides itself on being the home for all developers, including developers with disabilities. Accessibility is a core priority for all new projects at GitHub, so it was top of mind when we started our project to rework code search and the code view at GitHub. With the old code view, some developers preferred to look at raw code rather than code view due to accessibility barriers, and that’s what we set out to fix.
New tool to secure your GitHub Actions
We are excited to release a public beta of actions-permissions, a tool which monitors your GitHub Actions workflows and recommends the minimum permissions required to run them. Every GitHub workflow receives a temporary repository access token (GITHUB_TOKEN). These tokens originally had a very broad set of permissions with full read and write to the repository (except for pull requests from forks).
Exploring GitHub with the redesigned navigation, now in public beta
GitHub’s redesigned navigation is enabled for all users as a public beta. Millions of users build with GitHub every day, and we’re constantly working to make the platform user-friendly, more accessible, and an integral part of your workflow. To that end, GitHub has introduced a brand-new version of the site-wide navigation, redesigned to make it easier to find your way around the site and quickly access your most-used features and functionality.
Make your GitHub projects more accessible with accessibility-alt-text-bot
We are excited to announce that we have open sourced the accessibility-alt-text-bot–a GitHub Action that supports accessible image sharing in GitHub Issues, GitHub Discussions, and GitHub Pull Requests. The accessibility-alt-text-bot leaves automated reminders in a comment when a user shares an image without providing meaningful alt text. What is alt text? Alt text, short for alternative text, is code associated with an image that describes an image’s intent.
