QLMarkdownGFM

Introduction

QLMarkdownGFM is macOS Quick Look plugin for Github Flavored Markdown. This renders a thumbnail or preview using github/cmark.

[!IMPORTANT]
This plugin does not work since macOS 15, because it deprecates Quick Look Generator plugins. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/macos-release-notes/macos-15-release-notes#Quick-Look

Here is QLMarkdownGFM screenshots.
