Preview Github-flavored Markdown from the bash with ianks/octodown

Preview what your markdown would look like on Github. Helpful e.g. when writing or extending a Readme for your gem or projects.

Installation

sudo apt-get install cmake libicu-dev # required for building native extensions
gem install octodown

Know that this will install at least 12 other gems. However, the beautiful output should be worth it.
