Test your HTML project right from the browser

Today I am going to show you a way to test your HTML project right from the browser with out installing any software.

The project can also contain JavaScript and CSS files.

Previous I have written a post about zero config http servers which can used to test HTML, vanilla JS based websites. These HTTP servers requires installing software on your machine.

If you are in a position where you can not install new software on the machine or you don’t want to install new software, you can test your website right from your browser by following below steps.

I am going to use the below HTML project from GitHub for demo.

Step 5) Next the website shows a url where you can access the project

Step 6) Click on the link to access your project
