Link to a line Markdown file on GitHub

Question

I often link to GitHub source code via the #L param in the URI.

e.g. : https://github.com/github/learn.github.com/blob/gh-pages/episodes.yaml#L1

But is there a way to link to lines within a Markdown file?

e.g. https://github.com/github/learn.github.com/blob/gh-pages/README.md#L1 (does not work!)

I know I can link to 'sections', but lines are much better!

e.g. https://github.com/github/learn.github.com/blob/gh-pages/README.md#learngithubcom

Answer 1

As it is currently not possible, I take the next best option: use blame and then highlight the lines, e.g. https://github.com/rails/rails/blame/master/guides/source/configuring.md#L166
