Is this for an iPhone or Android phone? On Android, you can unregister the GitHub app from opening links. I don't think a similar option exists in iOS. |

I have found an easy way: Open every repository link in a new tab. The browser will load the website if you actually do this. If you simply click this link, the website processes the clicking event and redirects you to GitHub mobile. (This is a bit annoying, but trust me, viewing a repository in GitHub mobile is much more frustrating...) |

Links in the browser open in the app, and links in the app open in the single tab browser. This is ANNOYING. Fix this, please. |

I may have a solution. My device Miui 12 For other Android users just look for default apps in that search for anything mentioned above. |

hard to find in MIUI 14, because the search in settings doesn't find it. I located it here: Einstellungen > Apps > Apps verwalten > 3-Punkte-Menu rechts oben > andere Einstellungen > Standard-Apps > Links öffnen > Liste der installierten Apps > GitHub > Unterstützte Links öffnen > Jedes mal Fragen translated: Settings > Apps > Manage apps > 3-dot menu top right > Other settings > Default apps > Open links > List of installed apps > GitHub > Open supported links > Ask every time But the settings are already set to "ask every time" and I am never asked. For example if I get a notification e-mail, containing a github link, I am not asked, when I press the link. But what I can do: I can long press on the link, then I get a context menu containing 3 topics, and there I can copy the link and explicitly open in the browser and then I stay in the browser.
This often helps me, when I want to open in the browser. |

@aisbergde Try changing to Don't open |

Guess what, the "don't open" open option not even works. I doubt this issue also related to MIUI . |

It seems like the easiest solution on iOS right now is to just delete the app. |

It didn't work for me. The app opens even when that setting is disabled, and it's very annoying. |

Having the option to stay in the browser instead of automatically opening GitHub links in the app would be a great addition! This flexibility would improve the user experience for those who prefer working in a single environment or need quick access without switching apps. It’s especially useful for users managing multiple GitHub tabs or for workflows where app transitions might disrupt focus. Looking forward to seeing this feature implemented! |

This is much browser / OS issue. The app may add special handling indeed. |

Update: It seems that google.com detects app installation(I'm not sure how this is possible), and opens it directly using URI scheme. When I tried opening the app via duckduckgo, it opened in the browser as expected. I still can't find how to disable this feature in Google. |

I am often browsing the web on purpose and wish to continue doing so. When every GitHub link opens in the app it is very disruptive.
