How to remove commit id from a gist raw link?

For example here's a gist raw link from which we will remove the commit id

https://gist.githubusercontent.com/l3v11/7o1eed3691f87f7dcah11af1ld4bdeb1/raw/92b7a460031d5v171a546ccad274f3e7f44fka46/config.env

Now focus on the link, there's an alphanumeric code exists after raw and before config.env. That's the commit id. Now remove that code along with a slash (/). So the final link will be like this
