since it's organization's repo, how to replace "raw.githubusercontent.com" eg: path to my file will look like below "https://repository.orggoc.com/file path" – snehapriya katikala Jul 23 '19 at 09:17

"raw.githubusercontent.com" is a fixed part, to open a file in "raw" version – Paolo Mossini Jul 23 '19 at 09:23

You can't modify it, you need this "raw.githubusercontent.com". Here's an example from Nodejs repository [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nodejs/node/master/configure.py](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nodejs/node/master/configure.py) – Paolo Mossini Jul 23 '19 at 09:26

where do i mention my reposiory name in above link.since my repository address itself is "/repository.
goc.com/" – snehapriya katikala Jul 23 '19 at 09:32 -
and when i navigate to the raw link of that specific file..link looks like "https://repository.
.com/cri/CRI_Platform/raw/master/ – snehapriya katikala Jul 23 '19 at 09:34/ .py" -
Try using this link you find navigating to the raw version – Paolo Mossini Jul 23 '19 at 09:36

that link itself is the raw file link of my repo...thats why i am confused to give "raw.githubusercontent.com" – snehapriya katikala Jul 23 '19 at 09:42

Because I'am using github and it works with "raw.githubusercontent.com", try using your link – Paolo Mossini Jul 23 '19 at 09:45

i believe raw file path for normal git users looks like link sent by you.in my case raw file link is different... it wont start "raw.githubusercontent.com" is what i am trying to say – snehapriya katikala Jul 23 '19 at 09:57

You have to reference to the "raw" version of the file:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/user/repository/branch/filename
