Comment forms allow some HTML, this plugin extends that to let users type in <a href="http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/" rel="nofollow ugc">Markdown</a> and have it automatically converted to HTML. It also extends Markdown with a couple features made popular <a href="https://github.com/github/github-flavored-markdown" rel="nofollow ugc">by GitHub</a>. Conversion from Markdown to HTML is completely automated and doesn’t require anything on the commenter’s part.
The feature additions from GitHub are:
<ul>
<li>Single linebreaks are treated as new paragraphs</li>
<li>Code “fencing” with three backticks (“`)</li>
</ul>
Two notable features from GitHub’s Markdown implementation are missing:
<ul>
<li>To do lists: Doing these well would require some front end interaction, which I decided is outside the scope of this plugin at least for now</li>
<li>Repository autolinking (e.g. comments, issues, etc): These seemed a little too GitHub-specific.</li>
</ul>
GitHub-Flavored Markdown Comments is developed, unsurprisingly, <a href="https://github.com/evansolomon/wp-github-flavored-markdown-comments" rel="nofollow ugc">on GitHub</a>.

Github README is a plugin that allows you to embed markdown from GitHub in a page or post using a simple shortcode.
Usage:
github_readme
This shortcode embeds the project’s readme.
[github_readme repo=”octalmage/Marknote”]
You can also trim lines from the top of the readme using the “trim” option:
[github_readme repo=”octalmage/Marknote” trim=”3″]
This is useful for removing titles since your page/post will most likely already have one.
github_markdown
This shortcode embeds any markdown file found in the repository.
[github_markdown repo=”octalmage/Marknote” file=”README.md”]
trim, branch, and cache (seconds to cache) also supported.
github_wikipage
This shortcode embeds pages from a project’s wiki.
[github_wikipage repo=”octalmage/Marknote” page=”Syntax”]
trim and cache also supported.

Github README

As described... it work fine and very well!

One suggestion: from the guide https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/ the relative images are resolved with absolute path on the github repository.

Very Good!

Easily embed GitHub READMEs in pages/posts.
