Huge thanks to @auareyou @BinaryMuse @simurai @juliusschaeper @edokoa @joelhawksley @jonrohan @colebemis @colinkeany @madebygak who delivered on essential parts of the work, from design to implementation, to help us ship what I think is a pretty excellent dark theme for GitHub đź–¤

And finally thanks to @mschoening, my boss, for supporting me and enabling to lead this team. đź’“
