I Have seen several posts regarding this feature to preview HTML file on GitHub. Some suggest prepending https://htmlpreview.github.io/ before the real URL and some suggestions to create GitHub pages that I don't want to do now because then I have to re-create most of the thing on .yml

But my confusion is why this link showing HTML preview but not mine when I prepend the same string on my repo's HTML page. Please let me know If any other way I can see the HTML preview on github

Working:

https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/bartaz/impress.js/blob/master/index.html

Not Working:

https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/sany2k8/setuptools/blob/master/How_to_Install_Spark_on_Ubuntu.html

Showing 404 Not Found

Error: Cannot load https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sany2k8/setuptools/master/How_to_Create_Github_Pages.html: 404 Not Found

Check these steps:

-Your repository is public.
(Settings>General>Danger Zone>Change repository visibility>Make public)
-The size of the files are not very large.
-The Repository link is in HTTPS and not in SSH.

EDIT: I found this question about the private repository and preview, if you want to take a look.

When your html file is excessively big then often github may fail to open the file. In such cases you can check the raw version of the HTML file.

Yes its big but not too much, what are the other ways fix that? I have tried with gh-pages feature branch but that also did not work
