How to see an HTML page on Github as a normal rendered HTML page to see preview in browser, without downloading?
The most comfortable way to preview HTML files on GitHub is to go to https://htmlpreview.github.io/ or just prepend it to the original URL, i.e.: https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/bartaz/impress.js/blob/master/index.html
If you don't want to download an archive you can use GitHub Pages to render this.
- Fork the repository to your account.
- Clone it locally on your machine
- Create a
gh-pagesbranch (if one already exists, remove it and create a new one based offmaster). - Push the branch back to GitHub.
- View the pages at
http://username.github.io/repo`
In code:
git clone [email protected]:username/repo.git
cd repo
git branch gh-pages
# Might need to do this first: git branch -D gh-pages
git push -u origin gh-pages # Push the new branch back to github
Go to http://username.github.io/repo
You can use RawGit:

It works better (at the time of this writing) than http://htmlpreview.github.com/, serving files with proper Content-Type headers. Additionally, it also provides CDN URL for use in production.
