Describe the bug

I am using the page https://npmx.dev/package/nuxt but it also happens on other packages.

Current:

  1. Navigate to https://npmx.dev/package/nuxt
  2. Click on the Github Nuxt Text
Image
  1. Redirected to https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt.git/tree/HEAD/packages/nuxt which is 404

Expected:

  1. Navigate to https://npmx.dev/package/nuxt
  2. Click on the Github Nuxt Text
Image
  1. Redirected to https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/tree/HEAD/packages/nuxt

    Vue doesnt have this issue https://npmx.dev/package/vue weird could it be that vue explicity set the github url and the default is broken? hmm...

    Probably this line of code is the issue: 
    
  
    
    
    
      npmx.dev/app/composables/useRepositoryUrl.ts
    
    
    
    
         Line 23
      in
      8da9e96
    
    
  
    
  
    
    
    

        
    
          
           url = joinURL(`${url}/tree/HEAD`, repo.directory)
