Repository branch list alpha feedback

Product Feedback

Body

Information-wise, the view looks pretty much the same, except for the cleaner and more state of the art UI.

Since these are tabs now, it would be nice to have a badge counter next to the tab title:

While looking through the tabs, however, I found something that looked not quite right: The "stale" tab lists the branch gh-pages twice with identical information except for the "Update" column.

Apropos: The feedback link is broken. It navigates to the repository github/repos which is either non-existent or private (in the latter case just ignore my feedback)

While you are at it, do you consider adding this functionality: #69478?

Thanks for the 👀 early feedback @shaedrich. This snuck out a bit early in a few places, keep your eye out for a wider feature preview coming soon not with broken links.

The badge counts are an interesting idea, but we'll have to think about the performance impact on large repos.

A fix of double counting is a work in progress right now.

As far as #69478 this is really interesting feedback we had not considered yet. It could be hard to pull off well for repo that have a lot of forks and open PRs but I'm going to chat about it with the team.

Ah, that's why ^^ Thanks for the explanation @patrick-knight. Sounds interesting 👍🏻

Especially "stale" could be something that would be cached—but that depends on your implementation

As for #69478 on the other hand, the good thing is that in this case, mostly forks open PRs towards the parent, so usually, they aren't forked too much in a nested manner as far as I know. If it was the other way round, sure, that would be a lot data.

Here's the official feature preview announcement.

Thanks a lot for the heads-up! I'll check it out.
