One can follow the Marked library documentation and render a Markdown string inline. This is a working code snippet.
<div id="content"></div>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/marked/marked.min.js"></script>
<script>
document.getElementById('content').innerHTML =
marked.parse('# Hello Ayan \n\nRendered by **marked**.');
</script>Is there a way to pass a file into the marked.parse function or through any other client-side Markdown rendering library and render the whole file instead of just a string? I looked into getting the markdown file and passing it as a string. However, I couldn't find a straightforward way.
The file is in the same folder as this HTML file and would be served from GitHub using GitHub Pages. However, I could use an absolute link from a CDN if needed. How would I pass the contents to marked.parse()? marked.parse(Hello.md) didn't work.

You can have the browser fetch the content and then pass its content to marked.parse(). Something like this should work:
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/marked/marked.min.js"></script>
<script>
fetch("/pages-site/markdown.md") // The path to the raw Markdown file
.then(response => response.blob()) // Unwrap to a blob...
.then(blob => blob.text()) // ...then to raw text...
.then(markdown => { // ...then pass the raw text into marked.parse
document.getElementById("content").innerHTML = marked.parse(markdown);
});
</script>
