There's value in quickly browsing files of a project without needing to clone it first -- especially for quickly linking others to specific lines, API docs linking to implementation, etc. That needs to expose content at every commit, for stable links. So, some sort of a "web git viewer" is very useful.
Unfortunately, the more minimal read-only ones have ended up with far worse UX than the Github clones, or are a scary tangle of shell scripts and/or C. :-(
(Anyone want to collaborate on a Rust-based read-only git browsing web UI that aims for great usability? I'm all in, I want one. I know how to make it handle search etc, I'm not great at wrangling CSS to will or getting navigation right.)
