    $ git checkout offline

Known issues

Some websites can not be embedded because they have secure HTTP headers (either X-Frame-Options or Content-Security-Policy) set in their responses. To remove those headers, you need a browser extension. For Google Chrome, install ModHeader extension and add response headers for above headers with empty values. For Firefox, install Modify Response Headers add-on and add filters for those headers. The following slide can be used to test your setup:

    {
        "embed": {
            "src": "https://github.com/",
            "width": "1024",
            "height": "768",
            "sandbox": "allow-forms allow-same-origin allow-scripts"
        }
    }
