I know it throwing error because here entire Github page is being scrapped.
can we do anything for it so anyone can validate readme just by passing Github code file link?

- Keywords reporter-feedback removed
- Summary changed from Readme validator not working properly to Readme validator doesn't support GitHub web page of a readme.txt
Not sure if it's worth it since it's easy to get the link to the raw file by clicking or copying the link from the "Raw" button.

What about a Gitlab or Bitbucket url? What about another code hosting platform?
I think it's reasonable to expect that a user of such platforms can figure out how to copy a direct url to the file rather than a HTML preview of it.

Agreed, use the raw link. For example: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/master/readme.txt
What is a "GitHub branch readme file link"?
