This leaves no padding at the bottom of the page, it might need more work now

@bfred-it @CrowderSoup Can we reconsider this? As you have 3 useful link at the bottom that I use from time to time.

One is the "Status" and one is "API" and one is "Contact Github". I don't really see how this get in the way its not like it add's space to the page.

I thought about that, it depends on how much you actually use it. Status has little use because if you see the link… GitHub works! So you just Google it when it doesn’t.

Same goes for contact and API, I contact them once a year and the API can be found via Google as well. If you use it more often than that it’s probably gonna be in your browser history. Either way I doubt it’s faster to load GitHub.com, scroll to the bottom, and click on a link with a mouse than it is to just Google it.

@bfred-it You're right... I use it daily 😄 because I use the api for many things.

The browser address bar is much quicker for these as @bfred-it mentioned.

You could just type github status in Chrome omnibox and it would suggest you the right page if you've visited it before.

@hkdobrev I have to disagree on browser search always being faster. Also, browser search doesn't work for GHE.

What GHE-specific links do you have on GHE? It feels like none of that applies to GHE at all.

@bfred-it mainly the GitHub API link, as we are not always on the latest and greatest version and that's a quick and easy way to find out what version we're on.

@busches I'm interested to see how the footer looks on GHE. Could you please post a screenshot? Thank you!

Everything links to Github proper, (API and Help link to the specific version of the api/site -
https://developer.github.com/enterprise/2.11/ for example).
Support is an email link to the admin of the hosted instance.

What do you guys thinking about reducing the footer to just this?

• On GitHub.com - a simple line saying © GitHub, Inc. with Refined GitHub extension version ...
• On GHE - a simple line saying GitHub enterprise version ... and Refined GitHub extension version ...

@hkdobrev I think we should also not remove Terms and Privacy links. 🤷‍♀️

Honestly at this point I’d leave it. I don’t see many reasons to remove it, especially if we end up leaving some links and discussing which links to leave to whom.

I don't mind it much, having some footer on some pages is useful. If we can make it more minimal, though, that would be great.

@sindresorhus I think you were the one who removed the footer initially. What do you think about that?

I'm neutral. I've never used the footer even once, but it doesn't bother me either.
