Do people actually use GitHub to inspect code? I figure for anything that's not a 1-second lookup, I might as well just do at least a shallow clone of the repo, and look through it with my own personally-tailored editor instead.

Not to say their implementation doesn't suck. I just wouldn't know because even a non-buggy one would probably still be a subpar experience.





For my own PRs I like reading the changes again in the UI.

It is almost like getting someone else to proofread it since my mind isn’t as good at filling in the blanks like it is when looking at the code in the editor I wrote it in.


I do the same.
