How To - Upload and add Images to markdown files in Gist

Markdown files allow embedding images in it. However it requires the image to be hosted at some location and we can add the url of the image to embed it.

Example: ![Alternate image text](https://someurl/imagelocation/image.png)

We can use services like imgur or other services to host the images and use the hosted URL.

Top GitHub users by total number of stars

I was playing with GitHub Archive recently. Out of curiosity I ran this query:

SELECT COUNT(repository_owner) as totalStars, repository_owner
FROM [githubarchive:github.timeline] 
WHERE type = 'WatchEvent'
GROUP BY repository_owner
ORDER BY totalStars DESC
LIMIT 1000
