Glow is a terminal-based markdown reader designed from the ground up to bring out the beauty—and power—of the CLI. Use it to discover markdown files, and read documentation directly on the command line. Glow will find local markdown files in subdirectories or a local Git repository.

This screencast demonstrates the ability to search for terms within found MD files. It’s a feature in progress which you can see in this fork. A pull will be submitted against the upstream repo shortly.
