I like that GitHub supports file-like suffixes to get different views of the same content.

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/{hash}

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/{hash}.patch

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/{hash}.diff

I agree that is a cool feature. I would say it's from its Rails background where such a thing is encouraged (.json or .html (or no extension)) on a resource give you two different outputs

I'm also a fan of the public keys extension:

https://github.com/${username}.keys
