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.

[PATCH v2] Documentation: update the location of the git-gui repo

Signed-off-by: Pratyush Yadav <me@yadavpratyush.com>

Changes in v2:
- Only link the repo, instead of having instructions to "clone" and
  "browse online".

Do note that I am using single quotes around git gui instead of backticks like you suggested because the rest of the man page does the same.
