GitHub just now displayed a right hand margin with the title "About".
It then shows various categories and a description.
Was there something in my code that started this?
How to get rid of this?
I don't recall ever seeing before. It's the default? New?
A way to programmatically adjust?
New info from Aug 4, 2020 from Github support:
"Aug 4, 2020, 1:21 PM UTC"
"Sorry for not getting back to you as quickly as we'd like! Please accept my apologies.
I'm afraid there's no way to minimize or remove the "About" section built into GitHub, sorry!
I know that some of our users, who feel as you do, have attempted to come up with some browser extensions that restore the old UI.
They are mentioned in this thread of the Community Forum:"

Previous answer:
It turns out the answer to this question is that yes, github did in fact change the layout of the repository page. In doing so, they took away valuable real estate and made their web site less useful in some ways. My question is directed at the new feature listed as:
More content surfaced via the repository sidebar

If there is a way to return to github classic, I'd like to know.

I was talking with a friend today and showed him my github contribution graph. After seeing it he asked how I got the little radio graph that shows the percentage of commits vs pull requests vs issues vs code reviews.
I remember enabling it in the settings at some point in the past but I cannot remember where I did it. I also looked through the settings just now and I don't see an option for it. Moreover when I search online I can't find any mention of it.
I feel like I'm searching using the wrong term for the graph or something. Anyone know where this feature is enabled??
It's called Activity Overview. You can enable it here:
https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-github-profile/managing-contribution-settings-on-your-profile/showing-an-overview-of-your-activity-on-your-profile
I saw people add many graphs, analytics, badges and many more things in their github profile. But how do they do this? See the attached picture and tell me about the process please.someone's github profile
you seem to be new here to Stackoverflow. Stackoverflow is a site where programmers help one another solve problems or issues that they are having with their code, environment, etc. Generally a question such as this would be closed, well at least from my experience. When asking a question you should probably ask something related to code or an issue (never ask how to do something with no existing code because people don't like that, coming from experience). Really only ask a question if there's an issue and a solution.
Back to your question, you can get all that stuff in that screenshot under stats here and you can add the tech stack stuff with any old github readme badge like this one. Just add what they tell you to your profiles markdown file, if you don't know how to do that look here.
Apologies if this is not enough of a coding question - please refer me to the right Stack Exchange platform if there is one more relevant for this question.
I had a problem with yarn / webpack with a create-react-app and I was not the first one - the issue has been reproduced and discussed before on GitHub.
Is there a way for me to favorite this issue, or, in any other way follow progress on this issue, while not getting in the way of the discussion (since it seems they covered everything I was struggling with already)?
There's already a comment which suggests kind of the right solution.
But the feature actually has a different name on GitHub, and I think calling it "watch" is confusing for people who aren't that familiar with GitHub's UI.
(there's a big "Watch" button on the top of the issue, but it's on top of all pages of the repo, and it's for watching the whole repo, not this particular issue!)
It's actually called Notifications, and it's down on the issue's right sidebar:
After clicking it, it shows that you are now "following" this issue:
It would be really great to have a Github issue be in an intermediary "Resolved" state before I close the issue.
Right now, I have a "Resolved" label and I manually select the issue and change it's label on the web after I commit. Is there a way I can do this from the commit message?
I am sure this is a common problem. How do you guys solve this?
I have never used Github API but can this be done using the API If I were to do this myself?
Since September 14, 2016 you could manage your states with projects. See image below:
Reference and source: GitHub - A whole new GitHub Universe: announcing new tools, forums, and features.
I know it's not like a new state like "needs verification" because you can't like #NevikRehnel said in his answer. But you could make a column named "open", "needs verification" and "closed" and all the issues can you list in correct column.
No, Github issues only support two states (open and closed). Any other "states" must be realized via labels, as you are already doing right now.
And as of right now, there is no way to apply labels from commit messages.
You can always request such features from Github support of course, and they might be implemented at some point.
You can manage this problem using this method : Adding and reassigning github issues via commit message.
A simple ruby script will run on each commit, and check the commit message looking for ~myLabel and =assignedMember to update correctly the issue.
I have started to use Cloud9 IDE recently and have to say I really like it as an individual. I use VS 2010 at work and TFS 2010 too. This made me think about the TFS equivalent for Cloud9. GitHub is something I have always been aware of but never really used.
I have done my research and read docs etc, what I really need some clarification in though is the whole Work Item system. I know GitHub has an Issue tracking but does it have a Work Item system similar to TFS. With the main features such as assigning work items to developers?
A little explanation to just clarify would be fantastic. Thanks!
If you're looking for a way to have Issues show up like WorkItems in your task list in visual studio, I don't think there is a solution for this to date.
You can however assign developers to issues within GitHub:
Create or Edit an Issue
Click the gear next to "No one is assigned".
Select a member from your organization to assign the issue to them.
