Download Buttons for Github Pages

Question

When selecting the theme for the github page of an existing repository, you can see this set of buttons (in the Minimal theme, for example):

But when I visit my github pages site, the buttons are not there; all I can see is my readme.md for the repository, and the View the Project on GitHub link. Is there a way to get these buttons on my page?

Answer 1

Just add show_downloads: true to your _config.yml
