Github has become more bloated, slower and more user-hostile with each update (just like all other big corp platforms). SPA navigation slow like hell, the “new” file viewer/browser is hardly usable in my opinion, code search does not work without login, etc. So are there any good alternative FE where the following work (read only mode is enough):

  • Basic git stuff like commits, branches, tags, etc
  • File browser
  • Code search
  • Issues
  • Pull requests
  • Conversations
  • Wiki

For file browsing and searching I know the github1s.

    In run a personal instance of forgejo, love it.

    Everything I want regarding version control and workers. And more lightweight on the frontend side.

      +1 for Forgejo. Runs butter smooth even on not so high-end machines. You can even mirror your GitHub repos.

      Plus: It is not owned by a for-profit organization.

        I already self host my git server, I’m looking for an alternative front-end to browse github (because a lot of open source stuff still lives on it).
