The preview mimics repo homepage in Github.

• PHP 5.3+
• curl enabled
• Internet connection to send POST request to Github API

You have project that need to be published onto Github and you're not sure about how the README.md will render in your repository's homepage.

$ ./preview_github_readme README.md

or you can pipe it to browser:

$ ./preview_github_readme README.md | browser

In daily use, it's worth to alias this long script's name:

alias gmd='/path/to/cloned-repo/preview_github_readme'

Assuming your local development is accessible via http://localhost/ and you're cloning this preview scripts into the docroot of your localhost. Now you can preview your local README.md:

http://localhost/preview_github_readme.php

or you can use PHP built-in server:

php -S localhost:8080

and open above url with specified port.

preview_github_readme.php looks for readme file and if the file exists, send it to Github Markdown's API, otherwise lookup README.md, Readme.md, or readme.md file in root directory.

The markup and stylesheet for previewing are copied from Github.
