That seems overly broad. Is there precedent for that?

So magit is also in breach?

Maybe since it's free and therefore not a "product", it's fine? But then you also have things like gitkraken, which is certainly a service.

Wow, that feels quite restrictive. "Classic for Git" would be allowed, but it doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

What about Gitea? Hmm…

I had a quick look and bolted out within half a minute. Trying to open an organization or repo throws an error. There’s a featured comparison section on the homepage, and tapping on the first one leads to a message saying free tier allows two things to be compared and a pro subscription allows more. Why put this as the first in this section then?
Seems like this is not fully baked yet and it pushes for pro subs a little too soon.

Github has been very anti-scraping lately, to the point that I can't even browse it in my browser's private mode. This seems to be impacting your implementation as well:
"Well, that didn't work API rate limit exceeded for 18.220.172.92. Want 5,000 requests/hour instead of 60? Sign in for free to use your own GitHub API quota. Sign in with GitHub If you keep seeing this, open an issue"
Update: Another try and it did work. However, I take exception to your app's assertion that my project is unmaintained. I would call it "stable" and further claim that your assertion is borderline libel. (And its pretty insulting that the rationalization is apparently hidden behind a paywall.)

One of my repos that I just pushed the one thousandth commit to an hour ago is marked unmaintained lol

Golang is also "unmaintained" so you're in good company.

I had to go check. You're right: https://gitclassic.com/golang/go Made me chuckle. Then when I click it it doesn't explain why it is declaring it unmaintained. Pretty insulting. Not a good user experience at all.

Really like this, thanks for making it!
It appears that rendering for code blocks (```) is still not implemented (see here https://gitclassic.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/100045).
Would love to see this grow

I miss those Bootstrap era clearly distinct buttons with subtle gradient and a border.

403 forbidden. I'm in Vietnam, so maybe its blocking my location?

Accessing from Vietnam, I got a blank page. Use VPN to Hong Kong, the page works.

No issues here from Cambodia.

I haven't been able to read most text on github on my old system with a good screenreader because the browser is outdated and can't run the github javascript applications fully correctly. This gitclassic interface is a lifesaver. From my VPS IP I got blocked but from my home residential IP it worked fine.
The github accessibility team has consistently ignored tickets about the lack of text for years. In the sense that they'll fix it for a month then revert and make it even worse. And that's fine, Microsoft is a business and making a profit is their goal. Supporting people who want text in the HTML doesn't make money.

I needed this, thank you

I tried opening my profile and got
> Error: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'replace')
...this might need a bit more time in the oven

The irony of this looking exactly like gitea is not lost on me.
It might be prudent to double-check git's trademark policy.
