GitHub项目中README和README.md有什么区别？
本文翻译自：What is the difference between README and README.md in GitHub projects?
I've noticed some GitHub projects have not only a README file, but also a README.md file. 我注意到一些GitHub项目不仅有README文件，还有README.md文件。
What is the difference between these files? 这些文件有什么区别？ I know README serves also as introductory text in the project repository page but I have no idea what README.md does. 我知道README也是项目存储库页面中的介绍性文本，但我不知道README.md作用。
