    I wish that I could actually see the code. I understand that it's chaining timeouts, but the git site is just garbage

    You've gotta click "tree".

    This reminds me of when I am trying to find something in a cabinet, but don’t really look very hard, and my wife will say “did you even try?” and find it in ~1second.

    I agree it’s not the prettiest, but I had no trouble clicking on “tree” to get to the folder and then “mod.ts” to see the code.

    One has still to know that "tree" stands for "source code".

    I clicked on "browse" under the refs: main section and found the code right away

    This is not a sourcehut problem, it is a github problem. "Tree" is semantically correct.

    What? Of course it's a Sourcehut problem. They chose to use that word and could choose to use a better one.

    That seems like... a normal thing to know?

    Pre-GitHub, one of the most popular web git viewers (cgit) used "tree" in this way. Never found that to be confusing.

    (In git, the listing of the files and directories at a particular commit is called a "tree". So it's correct. Just not as intuitive as you, personally, would like.)

    Well it doesn't stand for "source code". It's the tree of directories and files.

    Tree has been used for this kind of thing for decades now.

    So what? There are still better words for it.
