It looks like you're encountering two separate but possibly related issues:

🔹 1. Repository Appears "Broken"
From the screenshot at https://app.screencast.com/JWfAKPQj9BdUL, the repository UI isn’t rendering correctly. This typically happens when:

CSS/JS resources from github.githubassets.com fail to load (this leads to a broken layout/UI).

There's a network error, ad-blocker, firewall, or browser extension interfering with requests to GitHub’s asset servers.

🔹 2. Error Accessing https://github.githubassets.com/
Your second screenshot at https://app.screencast.com/r7kHwUbxSiWil shows a NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID or a similar certificate-related error.

This suggests that:

Your system or browser doesn't trust the SSL certificate used by GitHub's CDN (*.githubassets.com).

Possible causes:

Antivirus software (like Avast or Kaspersky) doing HTTPS inspection.

Corporate firewall or proxy injecting their own SSL certificates.

Outdated root certificates on your system.

System date/time is incorrect.

✅ Steps to Fix
Check your system date and time.

Try opening the site in Incognito mode or another browser (e.g., Firefox).

Disable browser extensions like ad blockers or HTTPS inspection extensions.

If using an antivirus, turn off HTTPS scanning temporarily and reload.

On a managed (corporate) network, check with your IT team—there may be a proxy or MITM SSL certificate causing issues.
