Github pages reference file from project repo

I'm trying to create Github project pages which use the actual repo's contents.

main project: github.com/me/project
github.com/me/project/css.css
...
project pages: github.com/me/project/docs/
github.com/me/project/docs/index.html


I assumed the point of keeping pages in docs/ is being able to reference the files in the actual repo.

docs/

Is this even possible? How would I use github.com/me/project/css.css from github.com/me/project/docs/index.html?

github.com/me/project/css.css

github.com/me/project/docs/index.html

Edit: I am aware of rawgit.com, but I'd like a native Github solution.

There's an incredibly simple solution when using the gh-pages branch:

gh-pages

Say we have an image "img.png" in assets branch root directory, we can use it from another branch like so

"img.png"

assets

<img src="../assets/img.png">
