It's a link in the email message to a git repo with Texinfo files. git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/c-intro-and-ref.git

Link in the email goes to https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=c-intro-and-ref https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=c-intro-and-ref, but that seems to be down.

  It's not down, or not for me, just very slow.

git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/c-intro-and-ref.git https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/c-intro-and-ref.git It's in the Texinfo format though, so you'd probably want to texi2html it.

It's behind the link in the post. On, perhaps, the worst git repo browser ever. RMS's link: https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=c-intro-and-ref https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=c-intro-and-ref click "browse sources repository" https://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/c-intro-and-ref.git https://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/c-intro-and-ref.git hunt for the word "tree" and click it: https://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/c-intro-and-ref.git/tree/ https://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/c-intro-and-ref.git/tre...

What, you don't want to read the 13k-line tex source? Sorry. Clone it and build it yourself, I guess.

  This is an idiologist's moral choice, not a choice of the most convenient technology, though, right? That's his "whole thing."

    The other GNU manuals are available here: https://www.gnu.org/manual/manual.en.html https://www.gnu.org/manual/manual.en.html They don't try to hide them. This is the git repo of the new version of the C reference and will end up on that page at some point, replacing the one there now.

  It's just cgit. It's a pretty good git browser that has few dependencies and runs fast. There's plenty of things to complain about with savannah, but I don't think cgit is one of them.
