This gude will take you through the process of using GitHub to host your custom content.

Setting up the repo

1. Create an account if you haven't already.
2. Create a new repository.
3. Name it something easy like pac3-content.
4. MAKE SURE IT IS PUBLIC, I do not know if raw links will work with private repos and also they cost money.
5. Initiate with a readme, this is optional.

Adding files

1. Click on upload files.
2. Add files to the upload.
3. Give it a title.
4. Commit directly to master branch.

Getting URLs

1. Go to your file
2. Copy the URL
3. Remove blob/
4. Change github.com to raw.githubusercontent.com

Your URL should look like https://raw.githubusercontent.com/username/repo/master/file.ext

5. Put into PAC

Limits?

As far as I know there are no repository size limits.

• The maximum file size is 10GB (not really anything to worry about)
• The maximum files per upload/commit is 100

There should also be no trafic limits but I'm sure it's like 100 requests an hour or something per file.
