[meta] Repository page improvements (interview exercise)
As part of my hiring process, I was asked to do some improvements on the repository page and explain the decisions I took. I've shared the output with @dzaporozhets, @jschatz1 and @awhildy, but wanted to open it up to everyone else. The exercise was done 2 months ago (July), so please bear with me if some of the changes or comments no longer apply.
I believe in subtle, continuous redesign processes, so you will find the designs familiar and not very different from its current state (I actually think that's good).
You can find the designs and the rationale behind the decisions at the following links. Please see each link in the specified order. Also, look for the little blue dots placed on the mockups (tour points). These will walk you through the design, focus attention on key elements and provide design rationale.

- Repository/Files (Dark): https://invis.io/267ZCBRKH#/174402512_Files_-Dark-
The header found on the dark version was inspired in InVision's own app header.
It would've been nice to share these designs directly on GitLab, using comments on images (#2641 (closed))
