User Agent Switcher for Firefox 
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-switcher/ is 
what I suggested to Wayne...but it seems that (since it's quite old) 
it's not working all too well nowadays (seems to somehow forget the 
defined user agents).

This one 
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-switcher-revived/ 
seems to be more up-to-date, but the interface is a tad more confusing.

There are a few other similar extensions around, but in essence the main 
point is: set it to pretend to be a mobile device, like an iPhone, and 
then visit GitHub - this will switch GH to the mobile 
fluid/single-column view
