    To view a web page hosted on GitHub, you can use the following methods to render HTML files directly in your browser without downloading them.

    1. Use GitHub Pages

    GitHub Pages is a built-in feature that allows you to host and view HTML files as live web pages.

    Steps:

    • Go to your repository on GitHub.

    • Navigate to Settings > Pages.

    • Under "Source," select the branch (e.g., main) and folder (e.g., /root or /docs) where your HTML files are located.

    • Save the settings. GitHub will generate a URL like:

    https://<username>.github.io/<repository-name>/
    Copied!

    • Open this URL in your browser to view the rendered web page.

    2. Use RawGitHack for Public Repositories

    For quick previews of public repositories, you can use raw.githack.com.

    Steps:

    1. Navigate to the HTML file in your repository.

    2. Copy the file's raw URL (click "Raw" on GitHub).

    3. Paste the raw URL into raw.githack.com to generate a preview link.

    4. Open the generated link in your browser to see the rendered page.

    3. Use HTML Preview
