Even just being able to browse code when I'm on the go on my phone is useful!

I am guilty of occasionally even viewing my own projects on github to avoid having to put down what I'm doing to check what's in production...

It's unfortunate that their mobile site is very watered down compared to desktop. Every time I view something on my phone I have to request the desktop version of the site.

I do that for every site i can think of because, as a person with very poor eyesight, the ability to zoom seems better on desktop-site pages than on mobile-site pages.

On iOS, Safari Reader helps solve this problem on text heavy pages. I crank the font size up to 16–18px with white text on black background.

Firefox mobile (at least on Android) has an option that prevents sites from disabling zooming in.

Chrome also has an accessibility option for this. That discovery solved my problems with a lot of sites.

agree - I do the same too.

For what it's worth, there are git client apps that you can run on your phone. I've found them to be... usually nicer than GitHub.

Any particular ones you'd recommend.
