Add a go to top button

[siddhantvirus]

What is the current behavior?

Currently, there are no buttons to let a reader scroll back to the Table of Contents on any page on docs.github.com.
While this can be bypassed by a desktop/laptop by using the home button, users using a mobile device do not have the same privilege

What changes are you suggesting?

I suggest adding a floating button on the bottom right corner at least the mobile view of the website which when clicked either takes the user back to the top of the page , or can be a linked to the href of the table of contents heading.

Additional information

I believe the approach needs to be such , that it can be enabled on only the pages with actual documentation and that it doesn't need to be manually added for every markdown page.

👋 @Ylan-sayada We don't have any design specs created for this issue 💛 If you're looking for somewhere to contribute, there are quite a few issues with a help wanted label ✨

@janiceilene could you please look into to why there are two random spammy comments on this issue from accounts which don't seem to have any actual activity whatsoever?
This seems to be highly suspicious and I can't seem to find other issues where the said users have done the same.
Honestly I feel a little scared at this point.

@FREELANCEGITIT ? I'm sorry but i wasn't referring to you in any of my comments 😅

[janiceilene]

@siddhantvirus I'm not sure why that was happening, but they should all be removed and reported now 💛
