Here are a some of the main methods of importing a file:
Importing a file from the browser’s local storage¶
Files in Remix can be imported just by specifying their path. Please use ./ for relative paths to increase portability.

This method uses remixd - the remix daemon. Please go to the remixd tutorial for instructions about how to bridge the divide between the browser and your computers filesystem.
Importing from GitHub¶
It is possible to import files directly from GitHub with URLs like
https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/<path to the file>
.
Importing from Swarm¶
Files can be imported using all URLs supported by swarm. If you do not have a swarm node, then use swarm-gateways.net.
