Quantifying UX: Positioning the clone button

What this post added

This post details the UX research and decision-making process behind repositioning the 'clone' button on GitLab's project overview page. It quantifies the impact of moving the button from the header to the file tree control area using click tests, demonstrating improved discoverability and reduced time to complete the cloning action. It also addresses the scenario of empty repositories by introducing a clone button within the instructions section, again supported by user testing.
