I used [Wayback/Archive] How could i get a permanent link for raw file? · community · Discussion #22537 · GitHub to go
- from github.com/sk3pp3r/cheat-sheet-pdf/blob/master/pdf/vim-cheat-sheet.pdf
- to raw.githubusercontent.com/sk3pp3r/cheat-sheet-pdf/master/pdf/vim-cheat-sheet.pdf
- in future blog post ikwyl6 vim cheat sheet
The reason I needed it is that for quite a while now, GitHub has started to display PDF files as preview, and modified the download behaviour to get a blob: link instead of the actual raw file download location.
On the to do list:
- figure out the same for raw files in gists
- figure out the same for GitLab
- convert these into Bookmarklets (fiddle with the bold parts in the above URLs)
Thanks [Wayback/Archive] Lotaristo (Czeslaw Meyer) and [Wayback/Archive] byrneh (Hugh Byrne)
