title: How to keep readme from being web accessible
body: <p>I have a plain text readme file that is in the root directory of my website which is version controlled with Git. I like to have the readme there because GitHub will display it when viewing that repo.</p>
  
  <p>However, when I go to <code>mysite.com/readme.md</code>, I get the readme file back. I do not want this file to be accessible to the public.</p>
  
  <p>What is the best way to effectively disallow the public from accessing this readme file without moving the file away from the root of the project?</p>
