GitHub has introduced a new feature called inline commit notes, enhancing the visibility and accessibility of comments within code reviews, which were previously difficult to locate due to their placement in a side-activated facebox. This update replaces the older terminology of "comments" with "notes" to distinguish them from comments on issues and other areas, and also deprecates file-based commit notes that were not line-specific. The new note system highlights key contributors like repository owners and collaborators, and allows users to edit and delete their own notes, a capability previously restricted to repository collaborators. Additionally, users can now preview their notes across the platform with a live preview feature, addressing previous limitations where previews were condition-specific. GitHub encourages users to report any issues with this new system to ensure smooth functionality.
