Right, and when you do web things with that same git in 2024, it looks and works like it's 2024.
You could use an old git server/file browser UI, or the built-in gitweb[0] for example, but you don't, you use something more modern & featureful, working better on mobile, looking prettier, etc. Even Linux (with its history intertwined with git) uses Github[1] as its mirror, not gitweb or anything looking like the link above for OpenBSD.

- asveikau 2y agoIf it's something I work on habitually and keep clones of, I prefer to use gitk to browse a local repo over something like GitHub web ui. Maybe I've just gotten old though.
- OJFord 2y agoSure, but you presumably don't put up a bad/old-looking web UI to not use as well? That was my point, given that it's hosted somewhere, why so poorly.
