A GitHub repository can hold the source for your page, but Posty5 needs the direct public raw URL of one HTML file—not the repository or file-view page.
Use the correct GitHub URL
For GitHub mode, open the HTML file and choose Raw, then copy the direct URL. Confirm it opens while signed out; a private or inaccessible source cannot be fetched.
A normal repository URL or GitHub file-view URL is not the raw file. Posty5 does not browse the repository, watch branches or publish every commit automatically.
Publish step by step
- Open the HTML file on GitHub and select Raw.
- Copy the public raw URL and choose GitHub mode.
- Publish, open the Posty5 URL and test every external asset.
Test the public result
Open the generated page on desktop and mobile. Test every link, image, style, script and form before sharing it.
When text appears but images or styling do not, open each asset URL directly. Local disk paths and repository-relative project files were not uploaded with the single HTML document.
Update it later
You can replace the uploaded file or GitHub source later. If the public page still shows an older version, use the page's Clean cache action and test again.
Frequently asked questions
Can the GitHub repository be private?
For GitHub mode, open the HTML file and choose Raw, then copy the direct URL. Confirm it opens while signed out; a private or inaccessible source cannot be fetched.
Does every GitHub commit publish automatically?
A normal repository URL or GitHub file-view URL is not the raw file. Posty5 does not browse the repository, watch branches or publish every commit automatically.
Can I update the page later?
Yes. Replace the uploaded file or GitHub source, then clean the cache if an older copy remains.
Why are local images missing?
Use public URLs. Local paths and other project files are not uploaded with the single HTML document.
