Github has recently ship mobile web views on GitHub. Repositories, Issues, Pull Requests, blobs, history views, and Pulse are now much easier to use from a phone.
GitHub is a great tool for building and shipping software, but most of that building still requires a laptop or desktop computer. Our phones, on the other hand, aren’t great for creating things but they’re perfect for browsing and reading content.
A responsive interface is one of the most important parts of creating a great user experience. By using very little JavaScript and writing CSS and markup specifically for mobile, they were able to reduce page sizes dramatically and make the site feel very fast.
