Markdown syntax is used for plain text in .md and .markdown file formats. GitHub shows contents of Readme.md files on repository home pages. Read documentation on Standard Markdown and GitHub Flavored Markdown. You can edit Readme.md in GitHub itself by clicking the file and edit button to preview and commit changes.
Files with .readme extension provide helpful information and details about applications installed on Linux, Mac OS, and Windows operating systems. Most README files have directory paths and logs from installation alongside the OS. README files show installation details for programs from The GNOME Project like the gedit text editor. TextEdit, Windows Notepad, and NotePad++ also open README files considered plain text documents.
The .README file extension represents developer readme files for Linux, Mac, and Windows platforms. We researched readme file formats independently using listed Mac and Windows apps. Our goal: 100 percent accuracy in verifying published file types. Suggest additions and updates to improve this page.
