GitHub for Windows has introduced several visual updates aimed at enhancing the user experience by making it lighter and brighter, with changes in layout and minor improvements throughout the interface. Key updates include moving the list of past commits to the left in the repository view, enabling users to read information more naturally from left to right, and introducing wrap-around for long diff lines to eliminate the need for horizontal scrolling. The application now uses relative time for commit history, which is more user-friendly and time-zone agnostic, benefiting users in distributed teams across different regions. Actions related to commits are now grouped together for easier access, and the overall design utilizes typography and white space effectively to organize and separate elements without excessive visual clutter. These updates are available as an automatic update for existing users or can be downloaded from the updated website.
