Context
In the current Project Overview page, the file list in the repository is displayed before the README file. In #24746 (closed), many users cited concerns about wanting to display the README file first.
Many of the concerns are addressed at users who are unfamiliar with GitLab or version control.
User concerns
Concern | Quote |
---|---|
Users who are new to GitLab/source code are intimidated by the file list |
|
Users have to scroll to see the Readme |
|
Users have documentation repositories and want the Readme shown first |

Design Proposal
Along with #519827 #519996, another quick way to address the scrolling would be to allow users to directly link to the README section within the Project Overview page, similar to how GitLab allows linking to in-page sections in Issues.
Current: Issues page section linking | Idea: Project Overview page section linking |
