Often times I like to grab just a single file from someone's repo, i.e. a .tmux.conf without needing to clone and/or download all their repo. And I don't need to download the copy to the computer I'm on, but a remote computer. I find the file, click raw and see the contents in the browser: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mackyle/sqlite/master/src/shell.c.in Then I can use fetch/ftp/wget/curl to grab the single file. In Fossil, there is a 'Download' link, and this will actually download the file locally, but not display in the browser. https://sqlite.org/src/artifact/c441d7ddfbb8120c I think there's ways to do show the file with fossil, but it's a little more complicated, and there doesn't seem to be a button available on the fossil link above. tl;dr: Make it easier to show raw file contents on a webpage. Ideally, the filename will be the suffix of the URL.: https://sqlite.org/src/artifact/c441d7ddfbb8120c/shell.c.in Thanks for the consideration! Best, j.b. > -- > D.
