Expected Behavior

All tabs (“Windows”, “macOS”, “Linux”, “Build from Source”) should be fully visible or scrollable horizontally when viewed on small screens.

Actual Behavior

The “Build from Source” tab is not fully visible, with part of the text clipped off-screen.

Problem

When viewing the “Install” page on smaller screen widths (e.g., mobile or narrow desktop windows), the “Build from Source” tab on the right side of the tab menu gets partially hidden.
Users can only see part of the text, and it’s not possible to scroll horizontally to view the full label.

This causes usability and accessibility issues for mobile users.

Operating System and Browser

OS: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Browser: brave

Steps to Reproduce

Go to https://git-scm.com/install/source

Resize the browser window to a width around 400–500px.

Observe that the “Build from Source” tab on the right side becomes cut off and partially hidden.

Possible Solution

A simple CSS fix could solve this issue.
Adding the following CSS to the tab container may help
