I understand that R Markdown format is not similar to the GitHub MarkDown format. (Correct me if I am mistaken.) I would like to use the basis format of GitHub, also because it compatible with the github.io documentation websites.

I believe it's mostly compatible with Github Markdown and CommonMark. I'm not sure if the code blocks will render properly on Github.
