This may also be for smaller laptop screens, so those with larger desktop monitors may not see this often. Can site designer consider this in layout? For example, I find it easier to read manuals at https://gitirc.eu/git.html. (This is unfortunately a very common problem on websites, including github's help pages.) Thank you, -- Brady ``` ## Eric Sunshine, 2018-08-08 07:40 Subject: Re: Page content is wider than view window Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CAPig%2BcRP-t%2B4nDd2ei7PNPupcWSbcNAQaqmiEMVLGh3Nwuc2FA%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <20180808035854.49D69E450E@mailuser.nyi.internal> ``` On Tue, Aug 7, 2018 at 11:59 PM Brady Trainor wrote: > If I am reading the git book or manual (https://git-scm.com/), and zoom > in, and/or have browser sized to a fraction of the screen, I cannot see > all the text, and have to horizontally scroll back and forth to read at > that zoom. > > Can site designer consider this in layout? The git-scm.com website is maintained as a distinct project[1] at Github; it is not directly related to the Git project itself (to which you sent this email). A good way to voice a concern or make a suggestion about the website is either to open an issue[2] or submit a pull request[3] if you have a specific change in mind. The Pro Git book (if that's what you're reading) is also a distinct project[4], not directly related to the Git project. You can likewise open an issue[5] or submit a pull request[6] if needed.

Yes, there's work happening already for a visual refresh of the site, including making the whole thing much more responsive to size changes. See: https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/pull/1179 which shows the work-in-progress, but has stalled a bit lately. -Peff ``` ## Brady Trainor, 2018-08-08 18:40 Subject: Re: Page content is wider than view window Message-ID: <20180808184017.DC28C10268@mailuser.nyi.internal> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20180808184017.DC28C10268%40mailuser.nyi.internal In-Reply-To: ``` Eric Sunshine writes: > The git-scm.com website is maintained as a distinct project[1] at > Github; it is not directly related to the Git project itself (to which > you sent this email).

My mistake, thank you for redirect. -- Brady ``` ## Brady Trainor, 2018-08-08 19:00 Subject: Re: Page content is wider than view window Message-ID: <20180808185955.BE29E1025C@mailuser.nyi.internal> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20180808185955.BE29E1025C%40mailuser.nyi.internal In-Reply-To: <20180808151639.GA1607@sigill.intra.peff.net> ``` Jeff King writes: > Yes, there's work happening already for a visual refresh of the site, > [...] > > -Peff Awesome!
