    I, unfortunately, have to use GitHub at $DAYJOB and this is me. I navigate most of the webpage via the URL bar now.

    Basically, let’s say I’m working on a repo github.com/tomato/sauce/ and want to navigate to the Releases page.

    Via the webpage:

    1. Type github.com into the URL bar.
    2. Don’t find tomato/sauce/ in the list of recent repos, even though it’s the only repo I work on.
    3. Click on some other repo that’s at least in the tomato/ org.
    4. Navigate up to the tomato/ org.
    5. Find the sauce/ repo in the list.
    6. Traverse half the fucking screen to hit the “Releases” heading in the middle of the About-section.

    Via the Firefox URL bar:

    1. Type gi→t→s→r→.
    2. Hit Enter.

    I admit, it’s hard to compete with the latter, but I wouldn’t know how to navigate that way, if the former wasn’t so terrible.
