Raw.githubusercontent.com

raw.githubusercontent.com is a subdomain of GitHub used to serve the of files stored in GitHub repositories. When you view a file on GitHub.com, you see an HTML-rendered version with syntax highlighting and UI. The raw domain removes all that and returns only the file’s original bytes (plain text, binary, etc.).
