Hi!
First message here (well, almost).
Just starting with SB, trying to move my .md documents on Github over to SB. What is the best way to import?
Copy-paste the raw Markdown from github is not a good way since GH has some tags that are not supported in SB. Unless there is a plugin i don’t know the existence of.
Copy-paste the rendered content is better, but not perfect. Images don´t get through.
What is the best way to migrate from GH Markdown to SB Markdown?

You can click on the `raw` page for the markdown and when copying in silverbullet, instead of doing it with `Ctrl+v` do it with `Ctrl+Shift+v`

It does work for me. I haven’t really notice much problems. Sometimes i may need to do some small cosmetic changes but, no problems transferring github .md content into silverbullet
