In this article, I will be showing an easy method to create a URL of your SRT or VTT files. I will be using a free service, GitHub Gist. With Gist, you can easily generate URLs of your text files. Here is a step by step explanation:

Go to GitHub Gist
Sign-up, or Login to your GitHub account
Go to GitHub Gist again. It should look like this:
Fill out the page with your subtitle file. Here is an example below:
Click on "Create secret gist".
On the next page, click on the “Raw” button.
The next page is the URL of your SRT/VTT file. You can use it for your website.
