How to see an HTML page on Github as a normal rendered HTML page to see preview in browser, without downloading?

Configuring GitHub Pages

To see your HTML come to life, you'll need to activate GitHub Pages in your repo's settings:

1. Within repository settings, navigate to the "Pages" section.
2. Select the publishing source where your HTML resides, such as main, docs folder, or the gh-pages branch.
3. For a clean slate, create gh-pages branch with --orphan.

After setup, the webpage can be viewed at the following URL—remember to replace the placeholders with your details:

https://your-username.github.io/repo/

Patience is a virtue! It may take up to 10 minutes for changes to be visible.

Fork, clone, and render

Want to tweak an example and display it in all its glory? This easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy four-step routine won't disappoint:

1. Fork the repository that holds the HTML sweetness.
2. Get your hands dirty by cloning it locally, then make your improvements.
3. Push your stellar updates back to the gh-pages branch in your fork.
4. Marvel at your work, now live on your personal GitHub Pages URL.

Just remember: read the license, no funny business with others' work!

Spicing things up with GitHub Pages themes

Want your webpage to be the belle of the ball? Try giving it a makeover with Jekyll themes:

1. On your repo, click on the "Settings" tab, then "Pages".
2. Scroll to "Theme Chooser" to select a captivating new look.
3. Once you've found "the one", GitHub will automatically update your page. No fuss, no muss.

Beyond GitHub Pages

Farewell RawGit, hello alternatives

Reminiscent of a sunset, RawGit has reached end of its life, but fear not! Two worthy alternatives rise to take its place:

• raw.githack.com serves files with taste-accurate Content-Type headers.
• jsDelivr will turn your GitHub repository into a free Content Delivery Network (CDN).

Keeping operations smooth

To keep your GitHub Pages service sailing smoothly, remember:

• Private repos can serve GitHub Pages if you're on a paid GitHub plan.
• Custom domains can boost your web presence.
• HTTPS enforcement is available for added security and SEO benefits.
