🛰 Github CDN

Github CDN is UNPKG for Github — an unofficial content delivery network for repo assets on Github.

Designed to provide:

• an endpoint to retrieve branches/tags/PRs of a repo
• an easy way to serve dev code before publishing them
• access to npm excluded files
• immediate (micro-cached) access to new changes pushed to Github *
• Node API for compatibility with Github Enterprise

* Unless the request fails due to network failure or rate-limiting

💁‍♀️ Endpoints

• /:owner/:repo

  • Get the default branch and all refs (branches, tags, and PRs)
  • eg. /vuejs/vue to retrieve meta data on vuejs/vue
  Example output

  {
      "default_branch": "master",
      "refs": {
          "heads": { ... },
          "tags": { ... },
          "pull": { ... }
      }
  }

• /:owner/:repo/:ref

  • Resolve repo ref if semver. Redirects to root of repo ref
  • eg. /vuejs/vue/master
  • eg. /vuejs/vue/^2.0.0
  • eg. /vuejs/vue/latest

• /:owner/:repo/:ref?badge

  • Resolves the ref and redirects to Badgen
  • eg. /vuejs/vue/latest?badge

• /:owner/:repo/:ref/:path

  • Get a file or list directory in a repo ref
  • eg. /vuejs/vue/v2.6.11/dist/
  • eg. /vuejs/vue/v2.6.11/dist/vue.min.js

• /ratelimit

  • See the rate limit quota available on the Github API
  • With rate limiting, Github CDN is not a production-ready solution to hosting code

🔑 Setting a custom token (for rate-limiting & private repos)

Configure Github CDN to use your token to access your private repos and your own rate limit quota.

Use the token-input to attach your token to every Github CDN request via browser cookies.
