What article on docs.github.com is affected?

This affects all articles where a sidebar is present.

In the screenshot I posted, I'm using Microsoft Edge.

I searched existing issues and, at the time of this writing, the only result for "sidebar collapse" isn't open and I think it deals with the collapsing of individual items in the sidebar, as opposed to hiding the sidebar altogether, which is what I would like to request with this issue.

What changes are you suggesting?

It would be nice if readers could collapse, or hide, the entire lefthand sidebar, and not just individual items in the sidebar, to have more space available for viewing an article's content.

Additional information

A collapsible sidebar could improve the user experience. What do you all think?
