📌 What is jsDelivr

Note

jsDelivr is a free CDN (Content Delivery Network) for open source files. It is tightly integrated with GitHub and NPM, making it easy to use as a reliable CDN for almost any open source projects.

✨ Features

jsDelivr’s stability may vary by network, but it’s been reliable enough for my use.

• 🆓 Free to use
• ⚡ No registration required, simply include a single link to get started
• 🌍 Powered by a global CDN network
• 📦 Supports GitHub / npm

🚀 GitHub + jsDelivr

💡 Why no immediate update

Why doesn’t my GitHub file update show up right away?

💬 Why it happens

Note

• 🌍 jsDelivr uses CDN caching instead of real-time GitHub access
• 📦 Same URLs usually serve cached files
• ⏳ Cache updates are not applied immediately

👉 Official reference for Caching logic

🛠️ How to fix it

1️⃣ @version

Important

@version uses GitHub releases/tags (e.g. v1.0.1)

• No Release → use @branch, or purge cache if needed.
• Same version after a push? You may still hit cache → just purge cache if needed.

👉 @version (@1.0.13)

https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/EmirioBomb/media-collections@1.0.13/GearPress/notes/jsdelivr-tool-github.png

2️⃣ Purge Cache Tool

Warning

• Use jsDelivr Link (not the original GitHub Link) when purging cache
• Batch supported

3️⃣ Purge Cache Link
