How to get a literally free CDN

1. Create repo on GitHub where you'll put your files.
2. Use jsDeliver or statically to get your assets.

Here is repo I'm using:

https://github.com/jcubic/static

And links to files look like this:

• https://cdn.statically.io/gh/jcubic/static/master/js/lzjb.js
• https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/jcubic/static@master/js/lzjb.js

I use this when I need static JavaScript files for NPM packages that don't support UMD. If I need to use it on CodePen.

If I have a package like this. I use browserify + uglifyjs:

npm install name
browserify -s name -r name | uglifyjs > name.min.js

Then I can commit the files to git and use them on CodePen.

browserify and uglifyjs I have installed globally:

npm i -g browserify uglify-js

Interesting Browserify plugins that you may use:

• licensify - to include the license in output file,
• esmify - to allow ES Modules,
• common-shakeify - to enable tree shaking.

This is a pretty clever and hilarious use of gh. Thanks for sharing 👍
