git-spring

A simple utility to handle GitHub raw URLs. In the spirit of rawgit or statspring.

Use is straightforward:

https://gitspring.herokuapp.com/?type=js&link=[link to raw javascript url on github]

You can leave off the type argument if you wish and the service will determine the filetype by the file’s name. Or you can use it force a mix and match such as read a js file as html or an html file as css. Why? Idk. Just because.

https://gitspring.herokuapp.com/?link=[link to raw javascript url]

Common use case is as above, to link to a javascript or css file here to use inside your page. However another useful thing it does is serve html. Meaning you can append the:

gitspring.herokuapp.com

with the link to say an html file in a Gist, and it will serve the Gist like it was being hosted on a domain. Pretty useful.

Valid file types handled are:

• javascript
• css
• rss
• xml
• json
• html
