Add a copy to clipboard button in a GitHub readme

Question

I am writing a README.md in GitHub Flavored Markdown, which I'll push on a GitHub repository. Is there any way to add a copy-to-clipboard button for each code snippet the README.md contains, when viewing on https://github.com/username/reponame/README.me?

Answer 1

Since 5 years later I was Googling the same in question... here is another Chrome extension to copy the posted source code from readme files: codecopy

It works on:

• GitHub
• MDN
• Gist
• StackOverflow
• StackExchange
• npm
• Medium

And more.

Obviously ideally it'd be great not to have to install any extension.
