Referencing a .css file in github repo as stylesheet in a .html file

Question

I\'ve got a repository on github with a .css file in it. Is there any way to have github serve this file in a way that I can consume it in a web page?

In other words

Answer 1

Check out https://gitcdn.link/ . Seems to work well.

Rawgit.com has shut down.

Answer 2

Important: rawgit.com is shutting down. Read more about other alternatives here - https://rawgit.com/

Found something really cool. You get the raw link as: http://raw.github.com/...

Simply fetch the files from rawgit.com (or cdn.rawgit.com) instead of raw.github.com and DONE!

UPDATE:

You can also use raw.githack.com if you want to serves raw files directly from Bitbucket or GitLab

Answer 3

GitHub repos aren't web hosting, you should push that stuff up to a service specifically designed to serve files, like pages.github.com.

Answer 4

You have to use RawGit which, is a part of MaxCDN, serve files directly from the GitHub repository with the correct content type header. Full tutorial, click here

Answer 5

• First Visit RawGit as suggested earlier
• Next copy your file path from github into the RawGit box
• RawGit will automatically produce two refrences to your web page
• The Development and Production refrence
• refrence the development link in your webpage if you are still developing
• save/upload then reload your webpage
• if there was no change it means your browser has saved your former refrence
• clear your browser data then reload
• Hope that helps?
