About

OldGitHub re-skins github.com in its 2012–2013 visual language while keeping all modern functionality. Browse, search, push, comment, and review code with a familiar, calm interface instead of the modern wall of accordion panels and full-bleed white.

WHAT'S THEMED
• Dashboard, notifications, your issues / pull requests / stars / watching, explore, trending, marketplace, topics, collections, sponsors, settings (every user-settings sub-page — profile, account, appearance, accessibility, notifications, billing, emails, security, sessions, SSH/GPG keys, organizations, enterprises, moderation, repositories, packages, pages, saved replies, applications, developer settings, archives)
• Profile pages — overview with pinned repos, contribution calendar with year selector, recent activity, followers, following, achievements, projects, packages, sponsoring, people, repositories, stars
• Repos — home with branch picker, clone box, sorted file tree with last-commit info, rendered README
• Tree browser, blob view with line numbers and lazy syntax highlighting (~32 languages)
• Commits list with day grouping and pagination, single commit, diffs, compare view
• Issues and pull requests — list and detail views with reactions, labels, conversation / files / commits / checks tabs
• Wiki, Releases, Actions runs and workflow detail, Pulse, Graphs (contributors, commit activity, code frequency, traffic, community, network), Projects, Security, Repo settings (every sub-page — general, collaborators, branches, tags, rules, actions, webhooks, environments, pages, code security, deploy keys, secrets, GitHub Apps, email notifications, autolink)
• Discussions list and detail
• Hovercards on user, repo, commit, and issue links

LIGHT + DARK THEMES
Theme picker in the toolbar dropdown. Auto mode follows your system preference. GitHub's native color mode is mirrored to your chosen theme so any scraped fragments stay readable.

PAGES THAT STAY NATIVE
A few pages are React-only forms that can't be re-rendered without their runtime (`/new`, `/import`, `/login`, `/signup`, create-issue / create-discussion / create-release forms, fork dialog). Codespaces (`/codespaces`) and Copilot (`/copilot`) are embedded vendor surfaces (Monaco editor, streamed chat) — theming the chrome around them reads worse than leaving them alone, so they stay native too. On these, OldGitHub keeps the themed 2013 header at the top and lets GitHub's native body render below, so submit flows still work normally. The same applies to gist.github.com: the themed top bar is always present, the native gist body underneath.
