npm:

npm install remark-cli remark-preset-github --save

Now add the following to your package.json:

  "scripts": {
    "build-md": "remark ."
    "test": "npm run build-md && ..."
  },
  "remarkConfig": {
    "plugins": [
      "preset-github"
    ]
  },

From now on, npm test also checks markdown.

npm test
