Viewing files in mobile has several UX gaps
I viewed this file: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/blob/master/doc/development.md on mobile.

As you can see a lot of things are going on here:
-
The duplicated "copy" icon is confusing. One copies the path, while the other copies the file contents:
-
The Header is crowded with buttons. We should probably get rid of them entirely or move them into a "Hamburger" menu.
-
Maybe on small screens the duplication of the path in the header and the file name is not necessary, it is barely readable anyway:
-
Blame / History / Permalink and Find file take away a lot of space as well...
