Looks fine in the text-only browser I use. Easy to browse. Here are some sample URLs https://git.sr.ht/~bptato/chawan/tree/master/item/.gitignore https://git.sr.ht/~bptato/chawan/tree/master/item/.gitignore https://git.sr.ht/~bptato/chawan/tree/master/item/.gitmodules https://git.sr.ht/~bptato/chawan/tree/master/item/.gitmodule... https://git.sr.ht/~bptato/chawan/tree/master/item/Makefile https://git.sr.ht/~bptato/chawan/tree/master/item/Makefile https://git.sr.ht/~bptato/chawan/tree/master/item/README.md https://git.sr.ht/~bptato/chawan/tree/master/item/README.md To view raw substitute blob for tree https://git.sr.ht/~bptato/chawan/blob/master/README.md https://git.sr.ht/~bptato/chawan/blob/master/README.md Actually Github has become recently more difficult to browse with the text-only browser I use. They keep messing with the HTML and breaking this simple structure. I just download the .zip files and browse offline.
