Locally preview your markdown, Github style.
via npm:
$ npm install -g greadme
$ greadme [path/to/some.markdown]
view your markdown at https://localhost:8124/
press CTRL+C to quit
Execute greadme passing an optional path to a markdown file and it will be parsed and served from a locally running
http server with Github styling applied. When no file path is specified, greadme displays a file browser of the
current directory, similar to Github.
A browser will automatically be opened to preview the markdown if your OS supports it.
Files with the following extensions are rendered.
- .md
- .markdown
The default port is 8124 and the default host is localhost. You can change these settings by passing the --port
and --host option. For example:
$ greadme --host 127.0.0.0 --port 7220
An attempt is made to use the Github markdown rendering api and Githubs stylesheets. If the attempt fails we fall back to rendering locally.
