What is an .md File?

A file with the .md extension is a Markdown file — a lightweight, plain-text format that uses simple symbols to define structure. Headings start with #, bold text is wrapped in **asterisks**, and lists use dashes or numbers.

Because Markdown is plain text, .md files are tiny, version-control friendly, and readable in any editor. They render beautifully on GitHub, GitLab, Notion, Obsidian, and hundreds of other platforms — making them the go-to format for documentation, README files, and technical writing.
