Strictly speaking, main site <https://www.freebsd.org/> does still
direct developers to the Subversion repository and the Git mirror on GitHub.
Re: <https://wiki.freebsd.org/git>, things such as
<https://github.com/bsdimp/freebsd-git-docs/blob/main/doc-cvt.md#old-vs-new-url-translation-table>
"should be viewed as rough drafts for material for the handbook".
cgit describes itself as "hyperfast" with
<https://git.zx2c4.com/cgit/about/#features> "basic repository browsing"
as a feature.
Beyond those basics, I guess that it will be appropriate to ensure
awareness of complementary web-based repository browsers including
GitHub and <https://gitlab.com/FreeBSD/> GitLab; these might be
described as fuller-featured (without explicitly describing them as
relatively slow). Awareness through the Developers menu at
<https://www.freebsd.org/> and so on.
