Can you reproduce the bug at https://try.gitea.io:
- Yes https://try.gitea.io/hans/w00t/src/master/README.md

This is a feature request to improve the page title (<title>, seen in browser tab and history) when browsing a repository. The current page title is composed of the repository name and its description. It does not tell where in the repository you are currently are.

In comparison, in the wiki, the page title is just the name of the wiki page (e.g. 'Home').

I would suggest to replace the description of the repository with the path within that repository (eg. '/README.md'.
I don't really see the description as a good choice for the page title in general.

I think the path is right of the drop down menus of branches?

I am sorry for the confusion. I am talking about the <title> tag of the page. So the text you see in the tab, taskbar, browser history.

In github for example:

https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea → 'go-gitea/gitea: Gitea: Git with a cup of tea'
https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/tree/master/conf → 'gitea/conf at master · go-gitea/gitea'

It would be great if in the second case we would get a title similar to github.

Easy enough to just inject .Title in the controller. Templates already have support for it :)
32ca299650/templates/base/head.tmpl (L6)
Adding it here would suffice for the second example:
32ca299650/routers/repo/view.go (L147-L150)
