> One thing I can't figure out how to do in Github is see all forks of a repository. Is this possible to do?

Yes, just click on the number of forks. It takes you to:

https://github.com/golang/go/network

Members tab is a simpler enumeration of all forks.

https://github.com/golang/go/network/members

(Similarly, to see the people who have starred a repo, click on that number.)

It's not even hidden in some advanced menu, just point and click.



The point and click aspect is potentially significantly complicated by the fact that the parent indicated that he's blind. I've never tried GH with a screen reader, so I'm not sure what the usability is like in that case.


Ah, I only read the part I quoted, so I didn't realize that. No wonder I got downvoted.

I know GitHub has at least some considerations because if you press tab, it shows a hidden "Skip to content" button (which I thought was a bug, but learned it's for screen readers). But I can tell the Network tab doesn't look as reader friendly as the Members tab because it uses some non-standard canvas element or so.


Thanks, the network graph is completely inaccessible. Members tab is accessible though so gets me what I need.


Sorry, I didn't realize you were a blind developer, so my "I can't believe you didn't see it, just click the number" comment was unfitting. I'm glad that the Members tab is helpful.
