@on2onyekachi When I tried it locally, it redirected to another URL entirely. We want only the repo to change.

I see. I also did experience this while working locally. I guess that is a result of the hard-coded URL from the config.json file. I had to change the URL pointing to my local server URL to 127.0.0.1 before actually working on it.

Maybe we could get a solution that should allow the use of absolute URLs/URIs that work locally in a local development environment and also work on the remote server without modification.? Thanks @TildaDares

@on2onyekachi Let's take the easy route and leave only the changes in index.html and configure.js. The rest can be removed. Thanks!!

Okay, though that's like going back to the default behavior of both links. Maybe, is there a much better approach to this?.

I also think due to the hash(#) symbol on the URL it can't possibly reload the page, hence the manual reloading of the page on the select repository dropdown buttons.

@TildaDares, Just before I remove the other files, I will want to propose we take out that line in the configure.js file since we're only making use of it for this case only and work directly with the HTML href attribute. href="/#-all". Thereby having an absolute URL that will work on a local environment and also on a server. This should work to fix the redirecting URL and also change the selected repo to all.

here is how it is.
