Description

"The cup" and Home buttons have exactly the same role. Not a big deal, but it's a bit weird and somewhat confusing. One of these should be removed for better consistency.

@xxxtonixxx @kplaczek Could you elaborate on what's good in having two buttons with exactly same role next to each other?

@jhabdas Does having two buttons with identical role placed next to each other help you browse Gitea from terminal?

@jhabdas Thanks for the screenshot. So you actually use only one of the buttons, not both, right?

The image is for branding and the home link is to go home, the image is also linked to go home because that is a user experience that users have been trained to use where the icon/logo of a site in the top left corner of the site takes you home. The home link is for users who don't have that expectation.

@techknowlogick Thanks for clarification. Maybe we could merge both buttons into one with icon and text?
