Is there a way to add a gif to a Markdown file?

Question

I want to add this gif to a GitHub flavored markdown file. If it can\'t be done in GitHub, is it possible to do it in another version of markdown?

Answer 1

Upload from local:

1. Add your .gif file to the root of Github repository and push the change.
2. Go to README.md
3. Add this ![Alt text](name-of-gif-file.gif) / ![](name-of-gif-file.gif)
4. Commit and gif should be seen.

Show the gif using url:

5. Go to README.md
6. Add in this format ![Alt text](https://sample/url/name-of-gif-file.gif)
7. Commit and gif should be seen.

Hope this helps.
