No, code can be imported from any link on the internet!
so i could import from this?
https://github.com/USER/REPO/blob/main/index.jsyou'd have to use the raw github link
since github by default serves the content as HTML
ah right, thank you!
so:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/USER/REP/main/index.jsOn githug, go to the file you want.
In the upper right, click the 'raw' button.
You can then copy the URL from the browsers address bar.

you can also link to a specific commit if you want to make sure it's a pinned version of the Github import
There are also some services that provide nicer URLs for github content, that follow the
.../name@version/... convention, eg: https://ghuc.cc/, https://www.jsdelivr.com/?docs=ghjsDelivr
