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)
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: <a href="https://github.com/olssonm/github-dash" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/olssonm/github-dash</a>
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.
