Utopian Github Connection Overhaul, Organizations Support!

I've been working on Utopian development for a while now (okay, a week) and one of the things I've personally noticed is the Github Connection UI. It used to be pretty clunky and took up a lot of space for those with a lot of repositories.

I've now overhauled the entire UI to make it cleaner and more compact, and I think it looks much prettier!

Organization Support

Additionally, many Github Users use Github Organizations (orgs) to support their projects. Github Orgs are special accounts for companies, organizations, teams, and groups (like Utopian!) and let people share repositories.

Github Connection now has support for your organizations! In order to get access to the new Github Connection features, you must press the Synch with Github side button again, and re-authorize.

Repository Distinction

I've also changed the icons to let you easily identify repositories. For example:

The above is an original personal repository. It wasn't forked, and it's owned fully by your account.


The above is a forked personal repository. It was forked from another project, yet is still owned by you.

Notice how in personal repositories (owned by you), your name (the prefix) doesn't show up. This is to keep things nicer and more compact.

The above is an organization repository. It's owned by an organization you're a member of.

Notice how in this case, since you don't own the repository, the owner name does show up (in purple).

More to Come

There's still more to come on the Utopian + Github side, and we'll keep working on it!
