Ask HN: Do you name Markdown files .md or .markdown? Why?

2 points·iamvery··5 comments

.md in github because it's shorter. .markdown when using jekyll because it doesn't recognise .md.

Ah hah, I didn't realize jekyll made that distinction! Thanks for the info :+1:

Any special reason for this?

Jekyll can handle either (and some other obscure ones): https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/blob/23ad7fa4bde350e24a5bd...

.md for me, no idea why just saves keyboard taps i suppose :)
