Github include md files in README.md?

Question

Is there a way in Github to include md files in for example the README.md?

# Headline

Text

[include](File:load_another_md_file_here.md)

It sh

Answer 1

That does not seem to be possible, especially when considering github/markup#346 and github/markup#172.

No include directive is supported.

Answer 2

Since it is not possible I just ended up placing a link as

[MY-LINK](../../SOME-OTHER-README.MD)

Answer 3

Ruby gem markdown_helper implements include files for GitHub flavored markdown (GFM).

Disclosure: I wrote the gem.

Answer 4

This is not the correct answer but a workaround for others who really want this.

It's possible to use Gulp and Gulp Concat to merge the files into one before they are sent to Github..
