Design of GitLab is a pain

5 Oct, 2026 - 2 minutes
A while back GitLab changed design (again) and put the content scrollbar 10 pixels away from the site edge. This resulted in me finding a workaround to push the content and the scrollbar to the edge. I went with a custom CSS hack: body div.layout-page.page-with-super-sidebar { padding: 0px !important; column-gap: 0px !important; } This worked fine for a while, I do not remember for how long as I forgot when I solved the issue. The GitLab broke again, someone decided to add a border around the content. This was probably done because the content was now “floating” on a page and someone wanted it to look “nicer” with a border. Whatever the reason, now there is a border to worry about. So a new addition to my workaround was needed.
