You can always `git clone` the repo to view its files. But non-standard
features (like "merge requests" and CI) indeed require using either:
* a browser with bleeding edge JS support (because everyone uses latest
Chrome and Firefox and polyfills/babel are for losers who don't use
experimental features in production)
* OR custom CLI utilies (btw, can you point me on some I can use? like
dev-vcs/hub for GitHub -- I have no desire to interact with their heavy
and slow[0] web application).
