There are several possibilities to aproach that, depending on your
needs. I will list two of them:

1. You know which package you are interested in
===============================================

Each package has its own repository. Those are not necessarily
git, although this seems to be the most common option these
days. Note that git wasn't even invented when Debian started!

You'll find the packages via

  https://packages.debian.org/

For example, let's assume you are interested in "emacs25": you
search from the above page and find a couple of hits (in my case
three: one for stretch, one for buster, one for buster-updates.

Let's go with the "buster" one. That would be the URL

  https://packages.debian.org/buster/emacs25

To the right, you see a small pane "Links for emacs25"; below that
there's a section "Debian Resources". Go to the link "developer
information". This leads you to

  https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/emacs

There, under the section "general", there's an entry "VCS" [1];
in our case this leads to

  https://salsa.debian.org/rlb/deb-emacs

2. You are looking for something in the sources
===============================================

There is an unified view on all the package sources
at

  https://sources.debian.org/

There you can either search by package name or do a full text
search on the source.

Let's assume you are looking for something called "make_incremental_updates":
you enter that into the corresponding box above and hit "Search Code",
and you are led to

  https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=make_incremental_updates

You'll get the pieces of source code matching that query, listing
packages and other info.

Enjoy

[1] This means "version control system"
