Upload Images to GitHub's CDN

1. First, visit any repository on GitHub and click your way through to the issues page.

2. Create a new issue by clicking the New Issue button. You'll now see title and description fields.

3. Drag-and-drop an image on to the description field. This will start the uploading process.

4. Copy the URL and use it in README, issues or pull requests however you like.

Awesome and WOWsome!

Sweet

github suggests docs or hidden .github folder in repo root https://help.github.com/articles/about-readmes/

WE NEED AN API FOR THAT.

Is there an UI to manage images that a user has uploaded, e.g., so that a user can delete an image?

Teşekkürler harika adam.

Thank you ... I spent an hour trying to do this following a youtube tutorial and I failed ... and finally I found you and I did it in 1 minute... thank you for saving my day.

Awesome! Thank you!!

Thanks

This is by far the most intuitive and easy. Thanks mate!

Does this suddenly no longer work for others? I drag and drop and chrome just opens the local file. Safari behavior just pastes in the path to the local file. On macOS 10.14.5.

Edit: Interesting...it works in comments, but no longer in Wiki.

Same on my safari Mojave 10.14.5.

Seems only works on few cases.

Now there is an API for that 😉

To save others the click, there is not an api. The link takes you to a project that programmatically navigates to the issue page, inserts the image you want to upload, waits for it to finish uploading, and then returns the url. While it is literally a CLI, it's not something I would recommend coding against.
