get body of github file from url in matlab

In order to fetch the body of a file from GitHub using its URL in Matlab, you can use the webread function from Matlab's built-in webservices library. Here is an example code snippet that shows how to do this:

main.m
% Define the GitHub URL of the file you want to fetch
file_url = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/username/repo/master/path/to/file.txt';

% Use webread to fetch the contents of the file
file_contents = webread(file_url);

% Display the contents of the file
disp(file_contents);
281 chars
9 lines

In the above example, replace username, repo, path/to, and file.txt with the corresponding values of the file you are trying to fetch. The webread function will automatically fetch the contents of the URL and return it as a string variable file_contents. You can then use this variable to do further processing as needed.
