I have a JavaScript file in GitHub which I typically run by copy-pasting all its data into different user script managers (USMs) on different browsers.I need to start executing that remote file directly from GitHub instead, because it's inefficient two or more versions, each for one for each browser (Chrome, FireFox, Edge, etc.), rather, I want to maintain just one version in GitHub and to call it from each browser's USM (each browser might have a different USM with different internal commands, compatibility and caching).- To clarify, I don't mean to sync a script from one USM account to another (as with Greasemonkey synching); I just want to call a script that is being stored on GitHub, instead storing it locally, but only with JavaScript in way totally unified for all USMs.

- As Alexei noted in the comment section I can use `// @require` command but I still seek a JavaScript approach because it will save me a deal with USM caching, syntax compatibility and possible bugs.

USMs allow to call a file on the web with the `// @require` command but I still seek a JavaScript approach because it will save me a deal with USM caching, syntax compatibility and possible bugs.

How to run a remote JavaScript file from GitHub?
I have a JavaScript file in GitHub which I typically run by copy-pasting in its entirety to a user script manager (such as Greasemonkey). I need to start executing that remote file directly from GitHub instead, because I need to use it in two or more browsers and I don't want to maintain two or more versions at once, rather, just the one in GitHub and call it from each browser's user script manager. How would you suggest to do that?
