GitHub as an Image CDN

🚀 Why Use GitHub for Images?​

Loading item images from a server folder can negatively impact performance, especially during initial load times when players join. Instead of storing the same images in multiple folders across different scripts, you can use a GitHub repository to store and serve all your images efficiently. This way:

  • Players don’t have to download all images when joining.
  • You centralize your images in one place.
  • The same images can be used across multiple scripts.
  • You can also use these images for Coinsystem or other scripts.

🛠️ Setting Up a GitHub Repository for Images​

1️⃣ Create a GitHub Account (If You Don’t Have One)​

  1. Go to GitHub and Sign Up (or Log In if you already have an account).

2️⃣ Create a New Repository​

  1. Click on your profile icon (top right) and select Your repositories.
  2. Click the green New button.
  3. Enter a repository name (e.g., fivem-item-images).
  4. Select Public (so images can be accessed by anyone).
  5. Click Create repository.

3️⃣ Upload Your Images​

  1. Inside your new repository, click Add file → Upload files.
  2. Drag and drop your image files (e.g., ammo.png, medkit.png, weapon_ak47.png).
  3. Click Commit changes to upload the images.

4️⃣ Use This Format for Image URLs​

Your direct image link will follow this format:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/YourUsername/YourRepository/main/ImageName.png

Simply replace:

  • YourUsername with your GitHub username.
  • YourRepository with your repository name.
  • ImageName.png with the exact name of your uploaded image.

🔹 Tip: Name item images exactly as the item name and weapon/car images as the model name. This allows scripts to find them automatically without extra configuration.
