To get to the compare view, append /compare to your repository’s path.
This brings you the basic comparison interface which is very flexible: just enter a branch, tag or history marker in the dropdowns for base and compare.

Printing Markdown with GitPrint
Simply view any Markdown file on GitHub, then in your URL bar replace the github.com part of the URL with gitprint.com — your markdown file will be rendered to a beautiful, printable PDF.
Try an example https://gitprint.com/jquery/jquery/blob/master/README.md
Every once in a while I feel like I’ve been living under a stone for years. Today is such a day as gitprint has been around since 2014 and I only noticed it until now.
It’s cool as it prints any github page (including Markdown, RestructuredText, etc) as a PDF file.

Many repositories on GitHub do not have whitespace between the # and headings. This is against the specs, so GitHub fixed their rendering engine. Which means now many files do not render nicely any more.

##text
Fix them to be like:
## text
If your GitHub repository has less than 50 starts, you did not get an automatic pull request to fix it from https://github.com/bryant1410/readmesfix so you can either:

A while ago, I had to rescue a project of a developer that had hosted their SVN repository on a locally running CollabNet installation in a VM that wasn’t properly backed up. So besides pollution of a development system, it had to be resurrected after the host crashed. Apparently
Here are some links without full steps that I used to find my way around, find the SVN repository locations and credentials, then convert it to git (that’s now remotely hosted in multiple places both internally and externally).
No steps as hopefully I will never need to take this route again:

Found out recently that next to rawgit.com there is also raw.githack.com which contrary to the name also supports bitbucket files:
