Refined-github: remove 'Join GitHub today' banner

Created on 30 Dec 2018  Â·  4Comments  Â·  Source: sindresorhus/refined-github

If you are not logged in, GitHub will sometimes show a 'Join GitHub today' banner on repository's main page. It is displayed just above the description. Not only is the banner annoying on its own, the dismiss button is broken in Firefox. Instead of making the banner go away, it redirects you to the sign up page.

It would be great if this plugin could remove that banner.

Currently RGH only does anything when you're logged in.

With that being said, the banner can likely be hidden with CSS and work all the time.

What's preventing you from logging in and removing it that way? I'll admit it's annoying, but only see it one time before I'm logged in.

Hey @busches,

Thanks for the timely reply. I did not realize that RGH only works when logged in. It is probably not worth changing that just for this request. Curious if that is something that might get changed, or is it a hard no.

CSS was my first thought, and I will look into that.

For a few different reasons, I do not want to be permanently logged into GitHub.

Also, I am filing a bug with GitHub to fix the dismiss issue with Firefox.

It’s annoying indeed but for me it’s a clear cue that I’m logged out and shouldn’t be.

“Logged out” is outside the scope of RGH. You can probably easily hide it with the Stylish extension or similar.
