How to add footnotes to GitHub-flavoured Markdown?

Question

I am just trying to add footnotes in my GitHub Gist, but it doesn\'t work:

Some long sentence. [^footnote]

[^footnote]: Test, [Link](https://google.com).
         


        

Answer 1

Expanding a little bit on the previous answer, you can make the footnote links clickable here as well. First define the footnote at the bottom like this

: Footnote content goes here

Then reference it at some other place in the document like this

[1](#myfootnote1)
