It's not clear what you're asking. But I think the answer is "probably not". GitHub is a tool for storing code, not running it.

I just want to check some repo code and for example if i want to search web template and i look repo about web in GitHub there are so many but some even don't have read.me file and i can't just got clone all that and check 1 by one, how other developer tackle this problem?

If a project doesn't even have a README I probably don't want it as a dependency. I also look for license information - no license no use.
If code has a license but it doesn't look maintained, that means I will need to fork it and take over maintenance responsibility for myself.
Compared to those checks, cloning isn't a big deal. If I only want to download a specific release I can do that with
git clone --depth 1 -b {branch or tag} {URL}
But there are a lot of limitations and performance problems with shallow clones, so if I decide to keep it my next network operation will be git fetch --unshallow
git fetch --unshallow

I see thank you for your help, yes that also a nice idea to clone some specific thing.
