New character sheet ... image location links?

Hi ... I'm getting ready to request first time pull/merge of my sheet to Roll20.  Right now its just in my own fork of the Roll20 repo.  Since its only in my fork, all the image links for my sheet point to my github url path ... \img folder. What is the standard practice for where to put the images for your char sheet?  I thought it was to be github, where my html and css files are, however that would point to my own forked url and not roll20 github path that would be after the merge. I guess I'm missing something basic here.

I think its fairly common to have the image links point to your own github on your first commit, then to later change them to point to the images in the roll20 github. You could  point them to the links in the roll20 github, even though they dont exist there yet (constructing what the path will be once the commit goes live), and hope everything goes perfectly with your first commit. But the first approach is safer, I think.

<a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Building_Character_Sheets#Images" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Building_Character_Sheets#Images</a> Yeah the easiest is to have the first version link to images hosted elsewhere, and then when the first version is merged, you submit an update to link to the versions existing in the roll20 repo.
