Looks like Github used Angular.js. Would be interesting to hear how they settled on that. I've been using it for a side project and so far have had a positive experience.
Pretty sure they use PJAX.

#33From Windows Mobile 8, I see a blue border around images that are linkable [1]. [1] - http://i.imgur.com/bglIKU5.jpg
Can I just say that this is the worst "feature" in the world? It's not just mobile, desktop IE adds a border to images with links by default. As a non-web developer knocking up a site, I didn't think to suppress borders on random elements, and people were asking why the site was ugly in IE 9. Why isn't there a common, default stylesheet across browsers? Please?

Agreed. While I'm happy to see effort here, it seems half-baked. Among the many things not there: * Create new issues * Add tags to issues * View milestones * View diffs
They'll probably want to steer all mobile users to their Github app.

Zach, what was the reasoning behind using such large text for the code view? Will there be a zoom in/out option? Or a text size preference?
To make it easy to read code. :) It feels pretty comfortable- squinting isn't fun. We tend to avoid user preferences. If it ends up being a problem, we'll lower the text size at some point.

#38I'm not sure what took GitHub so long to _finally_ implement a mobile view for the site, but thank you. I have been waiting for this to happen for years, quite literally. Edit: It's worth noting I've heard plenty of counter arguments to using GitHub from my phone. But I will say, sometimes I want to check out a project and possibly browse source and lo and behold I'm not at my desktop. For this reason alone, a mobile…
Perhaps the move to a wide, non-developer audience finally did it?
