Absolutely terrible update; can no longer see what repos are private, nor are they sorted in order of "last updated". Very bad user experience and messed up my workflow somewhat (before I knew that the repo on top was the last one I pushed to to quickly make a PR or the like)
Private repos have a lock next to them, while public repos have a book icon. I did however prefer the highlight. And on the sort order--I don't understand what it's doing at the moment, but it's neither "created at" or "last updated" which makes things hard to find. Will definitely take some getting used to, unfortunately.
For others like me who are not to keen on the update; I made a quick (and dirty) Chrome extension that reverts it back to the old way; kind of: https://github.com/olssonm/github-dash
why did they remove the highlight for private repos? That was hugely helpful in sorting which ones were projects and which ones were public supporting libraries. iirc i have over 100 repos.
