Use GitHub as a Free CDN

What this is? a small side project called GaaC that allows you to use Github As a CDN. It: - is free and familiar. Everything stored in your separate repo. - has ease of use. Connect to your Github repo and start uploading files with drag and drop. You can also delete or modify them as needed. No manual commits required. - It comes with a search + preview UI, so you can quickly find the files you need. I've found this to be a time-saver for my own projects, and I hope it can help you as well. Why? As someone who frequently (somewhat) writes blogs, build toy websites or projects, I need to…

No manual commits required. - It comes with a search + preview UI, so you can quickly find the files you need. I've found this to be a time-saver for my own projects, and I hope it can help you as well. Why?

Since I use markdown, to refer to an image, I have to commit it and then refer locally. But what if I need to refer it somewhere else too? Same goes for when I used CMS. Hosting images on a CMS is an issue when you decide to migrate. I found using a GitHub repo to store static files strikes a good balance of accessibility and reliability. Let me know what you think!

    Gitdot – A better GitHub. Open-source, written in RustJun 2026 · gitdot.io · ▲334

    What works now: user signups, org creations, private/public repos, and importing GitHub repositories (both as read-only mirrors and full migrations). So basically, you can create, push and pull to a repo, but we don't have many features quite yet (issues, PRs, CI). What is a bit unique is: 1) we built it in Rust and 2) the website is a little odd. Its design is inspired by CLIs (e.g., fzf, broot, vim) instead of web apps, and as such, lacks some affordances that you might typically expect in favor of keyboard-driven instant navigations (we have the very ambitious goal of an FCP of…
