Uploading HTML to GitHub #10

Open sunaynagoel opened 4 years ago

sunaynagoel commented 4 years ago

I trying to upload local html file (which I generated by knitting R Markdown). I created a new folder "doc" in my existing repository to upload the html file. My questions are

a. How do I generate a link for the html file to share or view later? b. Will it show in my original website which I created from original repository?

Thanks

@lecy I was trying it for a really long time but figured out right after posting my question here. I apologize.

Hello @lecy , I have created my repository with my cv files including the html file of my resume. However, when I click to view it I receive the following message and have the option to view raw.

"(Sorry about that, but we can’t show files that are this big right now.)"

I am able to view it when opening it up from my computer so I know it is working- is there a way to resolve this?

@Jigarci3 When you upload an HTML file to GitHub, it treats it (rightly-so) as code. So when you open the file to view it, it will show you the raw HTML, not a rendered webpage.

If you want to view the webpage version, you need to turn the GitHub pages option on in settings (see the lab instructions for more details).

To view the page, you will click on the link for your website. Then add the folder of the file plus the file name to the URL:
