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

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


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

Rawgit.com has shut down.


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


  • 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?
