I want to serve a javascript file using github pages because using a CDN is too slow (it doesn't update immediately when there is a new version of the file). Is there a way to serve a javascript file instead of index.html when someone access my github pages url? Or alternatively is there a way such that index.html returns a javascript file as response instead of the usual html content?

@Jonasw I tried pushing a file.txt to an existing github page, but when I try to access (github page url)/file.txt it says file isn't found. It might be because it's not yet updated. In my experience index.html gets updated fast enough that's why I want to use index.html to make the updates reflect fasterDarkPotatoKing– DarkPotatoKing2017-07-16 11:58:54 +00:00Commented Jul 16, 2017 at 11:58

if you want to update fast, rent your own server.Jonas Wilms– Jonas Wilms2017-07-16 12:05:02 +00:00Commented Jul 16, 2017 at 12:05

I think you can use the "raw" version link of the file. You get this link when you click on the "RAW" button.
Example:
GitHub File:
https://github.com/jquery/jquery/blob/master/src/core.js
Raw Link:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jquery/jquery/master/src/core.js

You can also use a Github Gist version. This is a good option for single files.
