Public Service Announcement: Rawgit Shutting Down

RawGit, the previously preferred method of including custom code from Github, is now shutting down. All projects using scripts from the RawGit proxy needs to be updated.


Official announcement:

RawGit is now in a sunset phase and will soon shut down. It’s been a fun five years, but all things must end.

GitHub repositories that served content through RawGit within the last month will continue to be served until at least October of 2019. URLs for other repositories are no longer being served.

If you’re currently using RawGit, please stop using it as soon as you can.

What you should use instead

The following free services offer fantastic alternatives to some or all of RawGit’s functionality. You may like them even more than RawGit.

jsdelivr has graciously created a Rawgit migration tool, just paste the existing script URLs here and get a converted link:

  1. jsDelivr - A free, fast, and reliable CDN for JS and open source,

Alternatively, you can search for popular hosted scripts on cdnjs:

  1. https://cdnjs.com,

  2. or you can self-host on your own private server.

You mean this link?

I paste this link, but jsdelivr says:

Whats wrong?

And one more question: does Webflow use only https links? Faced a problem that the CSS style file is not working in live site from my hosting with a http link.

Yes that’s not a valid rawgit.com link. That’s a githubusercontent.com link you pasted.

If your site is SSL/HTTPS enabled, all your content MUST be served over the same protocol.
