The font seems to be the same as git-scm.com, which is horrendous [1] in Linux. The style was clearly developed by people in the Git teaching industrial complex, who use macOS, not Linux. The font-family list is Adelle, Georgia, Times New Roman. None of which are present in Linux systems (and the first one costs $540 USD). Then it falls back to "serif", which is already the default. So basically on Linux there is no font. It has the same font as "

Hello world

". I was told in university that the best fonts to read on screens are sans-serif (Arial), and in paper serif (Times New Roman). Which is why the first thing I do in an HTML page is to add a style: body { font-family: sans-serif; }. But somehow nobody in this lucrative industry managed to do s/\/sans-serif/ for Linux users. Anyway, enough ranting. After investigating all the different fonts specified in the list (present in macOS and Windows), I sent a fix [2] to pick similar fonts for Linux. The best one is Roboto Slab [3], which looks very similar to Adelle, and it's free. Alternatively, DejaVu Serif [4] is a good second option present in many (most?) Linux systems, plus it's how it looks on Windows with Georgia. And lastly, plain old (but not 90s old) sans-serif [5]. And now it finally looks readable to me. Cheers.
