Github flavored Markdown and pygments highlighting in Jekyll

Question

I\'ve deployed my Jekyll blog on a VPS. I would now like to add Github-flavored Markdown to it, using Pygments highlighting, but I don\'t know which files do I have to edit

Answer 1

Since cboettig posted his answer, GitHub has stopped supporting redcarpet. If you want GitHub Flavored Markdown you now specify it directly as markdown: GFM in your _config.yml.
