Answer 1

For this question, it seems the important extension here is "tables".

However if you want more Github flavored markdown, there are a few more listed at http://sholsinger.com/2014/03/jekyll-github-flavored-markdown.

Combining with neizod's answer I ended up using.

markdown: redcarpet
redcarpet:
  extensions: ["no_intra_emphasis", "fenced_code_blocks", "autolink", "tables", "strikethrough", "superscript", "with_toc_data"]

Answer 2

Adding only markdown: redcarpet into _config.yml is not enough, It's also need the extensions part, e.g.

markdown: redcarpet
redcarpet:
  extensions: ["no_intra_emphasis", "fenced_code_blocks", "autolink", "tables", "with_toc_data"]

Answer 3

The redcarpet markdown engine is no longer supported by GitHub Pages and may cease working at any time.

A very straightforward solution is to delete the markdown setting in site's _config.yml file and instead have an extra line between the headline/text and the table.

You can get more information from github help and this solution was taken from this issue.
