I’ve just pushed my first repo to github but when I browse my html it is served as txt. Is this something that I can set similar to svn’s props? Or is this simply a github inadequacy?
I can’t seem to find anything on git, github or here that helps.
Git, unlike SVN is not concerned with individual files, rather with commits so I believe you cannot set mime-type props on files. On the other hand, github is a “code hosting site”, which manages your code repositories and is only concerned about showing code. The exception from this rule is README files, where you can sort-of specify different formats (like .markdown) and render them as semi-HTML and wiki pages.
If what you want is to host your HTML files (like in a webserver) then github is not the place to do it. Rather, you can keep your files under github’s version control, but check out and serve them from a webserver like apache.
