I uploaded a .c code file with a size of 8KB. However, on Gitea’s web interface, I cannot view the file’s specific code content or the diff comparison (difference comparison) content—only the “View Raw File” option is available. Has anyone encountered the same issue? If so, could you please tell me how to resolve it? Thanks lot
