We show rendered markup in several places on GitHub, most notably including a
project’s main README on the Repository page itself.

On GitHub, you can use all notations On SE platforms, you must use the HTML syntax notations, as said above. The GitHub Flavored Markdown only mentions that you can use double tilde, but you can use everything. GitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets. Skip to content.

This GitHub organization and repository has a single, simple mission: to help you create better, more useful README files for use in GitHub and elsewhere. Why question mark appears on Github instead of the actual link? My README file is like this: ## Refer to!handout(handout2.pdf) for more detailed instructions handout2.pdf is present in the same.

Starting today, GitHub supports relative links in markup files. Now you can
link directly between different documentation files, whether you view the
documentation on GitHub itself, or locally, using a different markup renderer.

You want examples of link definitions and how they work? Here’s some
Markdown for you. Instead of an absolute link:

…you can use a relative link:

and we’ll make sure it gets linked to user/repo/blob/branch/other_file.md.

If you were using a workaround like [a workaround link](repo/blob/master/other_file.md),
you’ll have to update your documentation to use the new syntax.

This also means your documentation can now easily stand on its own, without always
pointing to GitHub.

If you want more information, we have a help article for you. Happy documenting!

Introduction

This little guide demonstrate how to turn any Github repository with a bunch of Markdown files into a simple website using Github Pages and Jekyll.

• You don’t need to use the command line or anything other than your browser.
• It doesn’t require any knowledge in Jekyll.
• It’s completely compatible with any bunch of markdown files you already have in any existing repository without any modification to those files. That includes the basic README.md almost all repositories contain.
• The markdown files will remain just as readable and usable in Github than in your website.

In fact this guide uses the same configuration and can be read both in Github and in Github Pages, at your preference:

Step by step instructions

Determine the repository where you want to activate Github Pages

You can of course create a new repository if you want.

Create the _config.yml file

That file should be created on the root of your repository. Here is some content to copy-paste in it:

It’s basically just a few tuning of Github Pages’ default configuration to have a better handling of Markdown files.

Github Readme Markdown Command

Activate Github Pages in your repository configuration

On the Github page of your project go into Settings > Options > Github Pages:

In the Source option, select master branch then Save:

You must also choose a theme:

That’s it! Now you can juste use the link provided by Github to access you website:

Usage guide

Github Readme Markdown Code Block

• Any markdown file in your repository will display in your Github Pages website. You just have to use the same path to access it and replace the .md extension by .html.
• To make links between your Markdown files just use a relative path to the other Markdown file. The configuration you copy pasted in your _config.yml provides a plugin to convert those URLs. So your Markdown files will have correct links both in Github and Github Pages.
• The index page of your website can be a index.md file or a README.md file. If both exists the index.md file has priority.
• You should be able to use any Github Flavored Markdown.

Known differences between Github and Github Pages

• No automatic links with Github Pages. The Github Markdown renderer can automatically detect a simple copy-pasted link and make it a clickable link. Github Pages doesn’t propose a feature to reproduce that behavior, so you’ll have to braces your links with the []() syntax.

Recipes

Since the purpose of this guide is to demonstrate how to publish multiple Markdown files as a website but I don’t have much more to say I will propose you some delicious recipes instead:

I’m a fan of Github Pages for the possibilities it offers to anyone to publish a website for free. I have multiple projects that could be of interest if that’s your case too:
