Rawgit.com is shutting down

For the last few years we have been using https://rawgit.com/ for “previewing” PRs.

In the case of https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/pull/14942 we would use this link to preview the changes before merging:

https://rawgit.com/yomboprime/three.js/moses/examples/webgl_gpgpu_water.html

Unfortunately, as you can see, rawgit is going away, and the proposed alternative (https://www.jsdelivr.com) serves html as Content-Type: text/plain.

https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/yomboprime/three.js@71e474c75fae8f341468c3b98fcf98ddacc27701/examples/webgl_gpgpu_water.html

Is anyone aware of any other option to continue that workflow? Maybe a browser extension?

@fraguada could you show how to use unpkg to load a live example?

Something like:

https://unpkg.com/three@0.97.0/examples/webgl_animation_skinning_blending.html

EDIT: just saw you discussion over on the forum: https://discourse.threejs.org/t/cdn-for-non-build-files/4727

I guess you mean it can be used as a CDN rather than for live examples.

However, in that case I think you can just use GitHub pages: https://threejs.org/examples/js/controls/OrbitControls.js

Githack is a clone of rawgit:

https://raw.githack.com/yomboprime/three.js/moses/examples/webgl_gpgpu_water.html

Staticaly is similar but only has production, not CDN links:

https://cdn.staticaly.com/gh/yomboprime/three.js/moses/examples/webgl_gpgpu_water.html

Same with htmlpreview.github.io except that it’s hosted with GH pages:
