Quick tips!

• To get a githubusercontent link for an image, drag and drop the image into any issue, and copy/paste the url from the code that is automatically generated. Example code: ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/16319829/81180309-2b51f000-8fee-11ea-8a78-ddfe8c3412a7.png)

• If anyone knows of a very easy to use (preferably browser based, client side) app that converts a link an image in a repository to a githubusercontent/raw link, please comment with the app url

• There is no way to change the size of an image if the markdown format is of the form []() - so stop looking right now! - you must use <img> instead

• Another useful summary of conventions that do and don't work here

My oversized phone pictures in yquake2/yquake2#1130 are ending up with a private-user-images.githubusercontent.com url, which requires a unique access token. I ended up having to use <details> to collapse it, since <img> wouldn't work.
