When you run GitLab instance locally - just visit http://localhost:3000/help/ui page to see UI examples
you can use during GitLab development.
## Design repository
All design files are stored in the
[
gitlab-design
](
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-design
)
repository and maintained by GitLab UX designers.
## Navigation
GitLab layout contains of 2 sections: left sidebar and content. Left sidebar
contains static navigation menu no matter what page you visit. It also has GitLab logo
and current user profile picture. Content section contains of header and content itself.
Header describes what area of GitLab user see right now and what navigation is
available to user in this area. Depends on area (project, group, profile setting)
header name and navigation will change. For example when user visits one of the
project pages the header will contain a project name and navigation for project
pages. When visit group page it will contain a group name and navigation related
to this group.
### Adding new tab to header navigation
We try to keep amount of tabs in header navigation between 5 and 10 so it fits on
a laptop screens and doest not confure user with too many options. Ideally each
tab should represent some separate functionality. So everything related to issue
tracker should be under 'Issues' tab while everything related to wiki should
be under 'Wiki' tab etc.
## Mobile screen size
We want GitLab work on small mobile screens too. Because of size limitations
its impossible to fit everything on phone screen. Its ok in this case to hide
part of the UI on smaller resolutions in favor of better user experience.
However core functionality like browsing file, creating issue, comment, etc should
be available on all resolutions.
