Describe the bug

Consider the @tailwindcss/vite package. Its GitHub URL points to https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss.git/tree/HEAD/packages/@tailwindcss-vite (note the @ character). The path is correct, but the URL is broken. In fact, the @ character must be URL-encoded, so the URL should be https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/tree/main/packages/%40tailwindcss-vite.

    Also, it seems like the .git extension in repository names should be removed from URLs.
