A little late to the game, but I wrote a small CLI in Python a few weeks ago and just added GFM support. It's called Grip (Github Readme Instant Preview). Install it with: $ pip install grip And to use it, simply: $ grip Then visit localhost:5000 to view the readme.md file at that location. You can also specify your own file: $ grip CHANGES.md And change port: $ grip 8080 And of course, specifically render GitHub-Flavored Markdown, optionally with repo context: $ grip --gfm --context=username/repo issue.md Notable features: Renders pages to appear exactly like on GitHub Fenced blocks Python API New: Navigate between linked files (thanks, vladwing!) New: Export to a single file (thanks, iliggio!) Hope this helps someone here. Check it out.
