Before you begin:- Before you enter the URL for a repository, ensure that it is a raw URL.
A raw URL is defined as the part of the URL following the domain information and includes the query string, if present. For example, in the URL string http://www.contoso.com/articles/recent.aspx, the raw URL is /articles/recent.aspx. | Tip |

Paste the file link into your browser's address bar. If the actual code is displayed in the browser, it is considered to be invalid or in an incorrect format. If the file downloads to your system, the macros can process the file and its contents. |
Know what is a complete URL. A typical path for the raw file on GitLab looks like:
/projects/:id/repository/files/:file_path/raw - The host address begins with:
https://gitlab.com/api/v4 - The complete URL, in this example, looks like:
https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/:id/repository/files/:file_path/raw?ref=master - For illustrative purposes, we have used a public Bitbucket public repository. The process for adding a profile and using it in macros remains the same for other repositories and external sources.
