I am trying to make a very simple site in github pages that will only have two pages: a homepage and an about page.
I would like each of these pages to be generated from markdown files.
The homepage is easy, I just put the homepage markdown in README.md and it shows up at myusername.github.io
Is there a simple way to add a second markdown page?
I understand github pages uses jekyll and I can do this by creating an entire jekyll blog, but that seems like overkill for what I want to do. What's the simplest way to add a markdown file to the github repo and have a working url to a rendering of it.
This is not a blog. There will never be more than these two pages

I solved the issue.
The key is to include this at the top of the about markdown
--- title: Title --- This helps github pages know the page is a markdown file that needs to be rendered.
The about page can be placed in the repo in an about.md file, and linked to from the main README.md file

just create a file about.md with the content.
than you can link from your README.md to your about.md like so:
[YourLinkText For About](about.md)
