How to link files directly from Github (raw.github.com)

Question

Are we allowed to link files directly from Github ?

Answer 1

Use jsdelivr.com

Copied directly from https://www.jsdelivr.com/?docs=gh:

load any GitHub release, commit, or branch
note: we recommend using npm for projects that support it

https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/user/repo@version/file

load jQuery v3.2.1

https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/jquery/jquery@3.2.1/dist/jquery.min.js

use a version range instead of a specific version

https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/jquery/jquery@3.2/dist/jquery.min.js

https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/jquery/jquery@3/dist/jquery.min.js

omit the version completely to get the latest one

you should NOT use this in production

https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/jquery/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js

add ".min" to any JS/CSS file to get a minified version

if one doesn't exist, we'll generate it for you

https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/jquery/jquery@3.2.1/src/core.min.js

add / at the end to get a directory listing

https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/jquery/jquery/
