Hi! RawGit is shutting down.
Repos that served content through RawGit within the last month will continue to be served until 2019, but should migrate away as soon as possible. URLs for other repos are no longer being served.

Thanks also to MaxCDN/StackPath for providing hundreds of terabytes a month of free CDN service to RawGit for so many years. RawGit couldn’t have become what it was without that generosity. Whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing is left as an exercise for the reader. 🤔
If you still rely on RawGit, now would be a very good time to investigate the many excellent alternatives. Probably won’t be able to keep the CDN up much longer.
The immediate danger is over and https://t.co/2LQHwRmSFe is now using CDN services provided by @jsDelivr. Eventually RawGit will start redirecting requests to jsDelivr itself, but I recommend switching your URLs to jsDelivr now if you can.
Many thanks to @jimaek for the rescue!
@asfo_dev Yes. RawGit officially died October 1, 2019. It is currently undead. Assume that Buffy the Vampire Slayer could show up at any minute and turn it into dust without warning.
@ValentinHervieu 🤨
I mean, yes, you should stop using RawGit because RawGit is shutting down, but I’m confused by the implication that RawGit introduced breaking changes into angular-slider.
Do you mean to say that this person used a master branch URL against all the advice in RawGit’s docs?
Our jsDelivr Bot is now scanning GitHub for broken @rawgit links and sending PRs with JsDelivr alternatives. Makes migration as easy as clicking the merge button 🙌
You can now request files from any GitHub branch without specifying a commit hash: https://t.co/qinBXISqUj
If there are no releases https://t.co/N5sjglKGSW serves the latest commit from master too.
Our @rawgit migration tool has been updated as well: https://t.co/nKx2XI7kOv

@huydotnet@gabrielstuff StackPath sponsors CDN bandwidth for RawGit, which handles most requests. The droplet only handles requests for URLs not already cached by the CDN, which is why it doesn’t need to be a beefy server.
@kcjpop The StackPath CDN handles most requests from its cache without needing to pass them to the origin server, so almost all of that bandwidth is used only at the CDN layer. The droplet never used more than 2TB a month.
RawGit is shutting down, so I made a tool that tells you which @CodePen's are using a @rawgit link/asset/library, and gives you a @jsDelivr alternative. https://t.co/rIpGt6krzE
@bcraftFgd One thing to note: the reason these URLs were being redirected is that RawGit never supported the .mdown extension, so you weren’t benefitting from RawGit. You could just switch to https://t.co/S526mFseji and load directly from GitHub if this was meeting your needs.
