title: How do I view the source of Markdown files on Github?
body: <p>Github helpfully renders Markdown (<code>.md</code>) files to HTML when viewing on github.com (for example, <a href="https://github.com/github/hub/blob/master/README.md">this <code>README.md</code></a>).</p>
  
  <p>When viewing any other source file, it is shown as unrendered source code (for example, <a href="https://github.com/github/hub/blob/master/.gitignore">this <code>.gitignore</code></a>). A handy feature this gives is linking directly to a line in the source by clicking the line number (for example, <a href="https://github.com/github/hub/blob/master/.gitignore#L5">like this</a>).</p>
  
  <p><strong>How can I view the unrendered source of Markdown files on Github</strong> (so I can link to a particular line in the source)?</p>
  
  <p><strong><em>note</strong>: I know of the "Raw" button, however it does not provide any of the nice UI Github has.</em></p>
