I have tried using a GitHub repo to host photos that I displayed on a different website. IIRC it didn't work great. I would try to access the photos over the raw GitHub URLs and I'm pretty sure they would often 404. Was I holding it wrong? Are there any great guides on this topic? I also remember that "uploading" photos over Git was a pain. Basically could only upload one at a time.
- datadrivenangel 1y agoHotlinking tends to be rough because people abuse github for free hosting. If the images are linked in a github page it usualkly works fine.
- guizadillas 1y agoI think they meant using github to host the page (with photos), not using github as a host for photos (iirc it isn't possible)
- meken 1y agoI just paste a screenshot into a GitHub issue and use the link it gives me.
- BugsJustFindMe 1y agoI meant using GitHub to host your whole site through gh-pages, not hotlinking to assets from some other unrelated server. You can even use your own domain.
