Hello @ravisheoran,
Did you copied the content of the file into a text document and saved it as .csv?
If yes then, it is still being saved as a text document and that’s why its giving the encoding error.
You should download the file by,
Going into GitHub, and open the file where the .csv is present, while opening it, you will see at the right hand side, “Raw”.
There, right click on it and do save link as,
A Pop up will open, be sure that you select “All files” and type in the name field, “<your_filename>.csv”
Then try loading your file using read_csv.
Happy Learning
Thanks
no i have downloaded the csv file directly from github and used it directly in the code by giving location of file but still getting error
