title: How to use Github buttons in Markdown (README.md)
body: <p>I want to add buttons to my markdown that, when pressed, let the viewer <strong>fork, star or watch</strong> a github repository.</p>
  
  <p>I already tried adding the html to my README.md, but it does not work.</p>
  
  <p>Especially</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;script async defer src="https://buttons.github.io/buttons.js&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>does not seem to work (it just displays the link)</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to use Github Buttons (<a href="https://buttons.github.io" rel="noreferrer">https://buttons.github.io</a>) in a markdown (.md) file?</p>
  
  <p>Or are there other ways to inplement this?</p>
