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, I'd like to be able to reference this source file at github directly, from an HTML file on my local computer or a live domain. Something like:
<link rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css"
href="http://github.com/foouser/barproject/master/xenu-is-my-lover.css"
/>
I've tried including a<link> to the "raw" source file (http://raw.github.com...), but github serves its Content-Type as text/plain, and consequently, Chrome and FF are not adding its content as CSS styles to the page—the file's data is being discarded and a warning is shown in the debugger consoles of the browsers.
GitHub repos aren't web hosting, you should push that stuff up to a service specifically designed to serve files, like pages.github.com.
