GIT_REPOSITORY_URL logo #1331

Open koeaw opened 2 days ago

koeaw commented 2 days ago

I'd like to suggest to change the logo used for GIT_REPOSITORY_URL from the Git logo (favicon for the official Git documentation, Git book) to one that reflects the platform that code is hosted on, in our case: the GitHub logo.

This reflects icon usage for code hosting platforms/linkage to repos across the web.

If we want to use a generic fallback, maybe we can find a logo that's not already associated with one very specific website, i.e. the one linked above, as that's confusing.

The not-orange version of the Git logo would already be somewhat better than the orange one.

Maybe we can find a variation on the theme of nodes/lines, which techies will recognise as representation of code/commits but which can't be confused with a particular tool or website. Non-free example.

we can not know on which platform a project that uses apis-core-rdf is hosted on

the logo is the official git logo. its associated with the website you linked to, because thats the official git website.
