A summary about Markdown:

Markdown is used in many different sites, such as, GitHub, GitBook, Reddit and many other websites. However, Markdown allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML).

The idea behind Markdown’s formatting syntax is to make the text as readable as possible. In addition, files containing Markdown-formatted text can be opened using virtually any application.

GitHub Pages is a static site hosting service that takes HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files straight from a repository on GitHub, optionally runs the files through a build process, and publishes a website.

GitHub Actions are event-driven, meaning that you can run a series of commands after a specified event has occurred. For example, every time someone creates a pull request for a repository, you can automatically run a command that executes a software testing script.
