previewing local MD files

Hi,

Do people have a suggestion for previewing local GitHub version of .md markdown files.

I've found this, looks interesting. But don't want to waste time testing pipeline if people have a better tried and tested workflow.

FAB, I'll give it a shot :-)

Hi,

I thought about going for a lighter options for local md previewing. First I tried some Chrome browser plugins, no good, didn't work. But then I figured, eureka, Atom editor must have a preview renderer, and sure enough it does, and its great.

NB: Atom also intergrates into Git very nicely, like other good text editor, so you can do all your usual Git command straight from your editing interface.

That's good to know, thanks! I've been using RStudio as Julien mentioned too, and that seems to work nicely.
