No UX for browsing the code at a commit

Body

I frequently want to browse the code at a certain commit. I want to do this online because I normally do not want to commit my current work and then switch back and forth between commits locally, just to look up something.
As the repos I normally work with are quite large I do not want to have a second local copy of all repos I use. Looking around how to browse code at a commit on Github.com, I found nothing. The branch selector on the code browser page does not allow pasting commit hashes.
Asking Copilot, it told me to craft my own URL form this wonderful URL-template:
https://github.com/{owner}/{repo}/tree/{commit-sha}/{optional-path}
I can also omit the optional-path.

Is this seriously the canonical way to do this?
Since Github obviously has this functionality already, please make it available in the UX of the pages?
That should be a super small frontend change that puts you on par with Gitlab in that regard.
