It looks like you've incorrectly branched from the main branch not staged, and as a result all the materialised plugins are included in this PR.

You can attempt to fix this with a rebase:

git fetch origin staged
git rebase --onto origin/staged origin/main <branch name>
git push --force-with-lease

If that does not resolve it, you can run npm run plugin:clean which will delete the materialised plugins and you can commit that change.

@aaronpowell Thanks for the feedback ser! I've rebased the branch onto origin/staged and force-pushed. The PR should now only include the intended website changes.

Testing out the changes and a few observations:

• I didn't see the Back to Top feature appear anywhere, is it mobile only?
• Per brand guidance, we aren't putting a logo on the top of the page
• The popup when you click on an agent (and I'll assume skill, instructions, etc.) no longer works
• Where are the SVG's for the icons from? Do we need to attribute source on them? I'm not really convinced on the agent, workflows, and hooks icons (admittedly workflows should probably come from https://github.github.com/gh-aw/...)

Thanks for the detailed feedback! I've addressed all the points

I like the look of the icons much more.

When the popup is open the search box and theme selector are overlapping the opaque background, probably to do with the fixed position of the elements. This is less obvious on dark mode though.

I notice there's a new awesome-copilot.png file added, but can we remove that as we have guidance on how we can use logos and I think that might get me in trouble 😅
