Is this just a lookup frontend for git repos? Why is the clone link for Amethyst pointing to github.

I just made https://TreeGaze.com, a file browser based on nostr:npub15qydau2hjma6ngxkl2cyar74wzyjshvl65za5k5rl69264ar2exs5cyejr 's new git server. Since his server is nostr-native we can start doing all kinds of fun other stuff too!
It works on some (not all) repo's with legacy git servers like GitHub too.

It lists repositories that are published on nostr using NIP-34. In a NIP-34 repo you list one or more git servers where the code is hosted. Most people just linked it to GitHub.
Amethyst must have stored their nostr repo code on GitHub then.
The problem with using GitHub as a back-end is that people need pretty much kyc'd accounts to participate as a maintainer + each backend has its own user management.
Dan's new server fixed that with auth by nostr, meaning we can manage contributors more easily AND for example make pushes from the browser with just a nostr sign-in. (I want to enable pull-request views and merging here too)
