Actually the command is no rocket science. You can simply use hget, sed and htmlfmt to reach similar things. The 'github' command is a kind of shortcut to blobs from github repositories.
The --raw mode is the opposite of --blob. I changed the code that *.md files are automatically read blob files, not raw files, though this does not make too much sense on plan9 terminals. I'm just experimenting a bit with the possible transfer modes for files. So for *.md Files --blob mode is automatically selected. Using --raw with *.md Files (such as README.md) will choose the raw mode anyway. For all other files --raw is the default mode and --blob can be chosen to get the html table. But --blob mode for syntax highlighted files does not work yet, as the output is not in an <article> tag (as it is the case with *.md Files).
