Alternative github frontends? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Ofc Firefox (on any OS). It might work better with a chromium based browser but I don't use any of them.

This looks promising, but unfortunately the advertised just replace github.com with some alternative host doesn't work. I can't check the issues, wiki, etc, all pages give me error (except main repo url), eg:

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).

Alternative github frontends? (sh.itjust.works)
 

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.
