These days, unlike back when the original of this manpage was written, we can expect far more people know Git, GitHub and what to do with it when they see a GitHub URL to a repository. Hence, a single GitHub repository URL is sufficient, without "git clone" or mention of "browsed online", I would think.

IOW, all of the above can now be just two lines, e.g.
	The official repository of `git gui` project can be found at
	https://github.com/prati0100/git-gui.git/
Thanks.
