Alternative github frontends? (sh.itjust.works)

Github has become more bloated, slower and more user-hostile with each update (just like all other big corp platforms). SPA navigation slow like hell, the "new" file viewer/browser is hardly usable in my opinion, code search does not work without login, etc. So are there any good alternative FE where the following work (read only mode is enough):

Basic git stuff like commits, branches, tags, etc
File browser
Code search
Issues
Pull requests
Conversations
Wiki

For file browsing and searching I know the github1s.

I think you’re asking for alternative front ends to git, rather than GitHub?

I’m not sure if you want to retain access to Issues, Actions, Discussions and everything else on GitHub, but through another interface. Or if you’re asking to make a clean break from that data and ecosystem.

If it’s the former, then I think it’s either the web app (which you don’t like), or the CLI (gh). If it’s the latter, then I think any of the other options mentioned by others will do.
