Split the page shell out of the repository layout

2026-09-05T01:49:59Z

layout.eta was two things at once: the HTML shell every page needs and the repository chrome around it. owner.eta, being the one page that is not about a repository, could use neither and carried its own copy of the shell, which had drifted -- its footer named no build commit and did not link to the original page on GitHub. The shell moves to views/layouts/base.eta, taking its title and any deferred scripts as layout data, and the chrome to views/layouts/repo.eta, a layout over it that adds the clone commands, nav, search box, and the "/" shortcut that focuses it. Repository pages point at repo.eta and render as before; owner.eta uses base.eta directly and so gains the footer it was missing. Templates now live in more than one directory, so scripts/build.ts walks views/ recursively and keys each template by its path underneath it. Names crossing a directory are written from the views root ("/layouts/base.eta"), the one form both Eta's filesystem resolver and the precompiled resolver in worker.ts agree on; siblings stay relative.

Link blobs to their history and back

2026-09-04T02:16:44Z

Nothing in a commits payload says whether the path it lists is a file or a directory: currentBlobPath, despite the name, is only the path filter, and is set for a directory just the same. GitHub's own UI cannot tell either, and points its browse button at /blob// so that the redirect resolves a file to its blob. We do the same, and the blob route already turns that redirect into one of our own tree URLs. Breadcrumbs now stay in the view they were clicked from, so walking up from a history lands in the history of each parent directory rather than in its listing. The last crumb remains the page you are already on. A path with no commits now says so rather than rendering an empty page.

Anchor blob lines so #L fragments work

2026-09-03T05:27:35Z

Wrap each rendered line in a , for both syntax-highlighted and plain-text blobs, and shade the line a fragment targets.

Display PDF blobs

2026-08-27T18:53:38Z

GitHub renders a PDF with a viewer of its own and so ships no content for one, leaving the blob view with nothing to show. Its raw bytes come as application/octet-stream, which browsers download rather than display, so serve them from a new embed route that retypes them and point an at that.

Handle blobs GitHub cannot preview

2026-08-12T05:42:59Z

Binary files with no preview (a .ttf, say) have no rawLines, no colorizedLines and no richText, so the blob view's final branch threw on a null textLines and the page 500ed. Offer the raw file instead. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5

Keep the ref picker on the current view and path

Add repo-scoped search support for issues and PRs

2026-05-28T03:37:23Z

We do not support hybrid issue/PR search. Any searches on the issues endpoint will redirect to an explicit issue-only search.

Image support

Syntax highlighting

2026-01-28T20:23:40Z

Sometimes GitHub returns colorizedLines and sometimes it returns a terser stylingDirectives, which needs to be applied to rawLines.
