Where do I file, vote on, and find workarounds for feature requests regarding code search and navigation?

[look]

This category (Code Search and Navigation) is the right place for feedback about code search and code navigation.

On GitHub, you can file, vote on, and find workarounds for feature requests related to code search and navigation in the GitHub Issues section of the respective repository for the GitHub product you are using. Here's how you can do it:

1. Filing a Feature Request:

   • Go to the repository of the GitHub product you are using.
   • Click on the "Issues" tab at the top of the repository.
   • Click the green "New Issue" button.
   • Choose the "Feature request" template.
   • Describe your feature request in detail and submit the issue.

2. Voting on Feature Requests:

   • Visit the "Issues" section of the repository.
   • Find the feature request you want to support.
   • Click the "Thumbs up" reaction (👍) to upvote the request. The more reactions a request gets, the more attention it receives.

3. Finding Workarounds:

   • Workarounds are often discussed in the comments of related issues.
   • Read through the comments on the issue to see if there are any community-suggested workarounds or temporary solutions.

Can you suggest how to find the appropriate GitHub repository for any specific UI element? At the moment, https://github.com/orgs/github/repositories has 503 repositories. I want to suggest a feature for the Issues tab, but there's no repository named "GitHub" https://github.com/github/github --> 404.

None of these repositories look quite right to me: https://github.com/orgs/github/repositories?q=issues

Thanks

Is there a way to get to the first commit of a repo without clicking 'older' until you get there? If not, I think this would be a really helpful feature to add. Maybe a first commit button somewhere?

Example: We have quite a few legacy projects. One of our clients wanted something done to a legacy project and our project manager needed to share the first commit with the client to make sure we were on the same page about how old this project really is. I clicked through dozens of pages to get to the first commit.

Thank you for your time!

From the command line, inside a more display? On my computer you can type the End key and it will bring you to the end.

You can also just run "git log --reverse"...
