Comment on GitHub Has an Availability Problem. Is It Time to Look Elsewhere?

Yeah? You should still make a decision. If you want it possible to watch, star and fork the repo from any of the sub-pages, then that stuff has to live in that top ribbon.
But then you shouldn’t duplicate it into the Code sub-page. I’d work with split buttons, where you can look at who starred and you can add your own star, all from the same UI element. It would not even take up more space, since they do already display the count in the top ribbon as well.
Apparently this is how Codeberg does it (see e.g. this repo), so this might be where I have the idea from…
