Github Profile Readme - Why? How? Step by Step

Did you hear the hype?

Github launched a new feature a couple of days ago and many developers has been talking about it - it is the Github Profile Readme.

Why I love this feature?

1. It gives you more room to talk about yourself.
2. It is like a cover letter to prospective employers or partners.
3. It is feature-rich as it leverage the regular markdown.
4. It is so easy to add this feature to your profile.
5. It makes Github look more appealing with the social network look.

How to add this feature?

Like I already pointed out, it is as easy as your favorite dish. I will be adding mine in the curse of this tutorial, so all you need do is follow me as I show you step by step how to do this.

• Create a Github account here if you have not done so already.

• Login into you profile. (This takes you to your dashboard)

• Click on the plus sign (+) at the top-right in the menu bar

• Click on the New repository link

You Should now be in a page to create a new repository

• In the Repository name, enter your username. Mine is EBEREGIT as you must have noticed in the first image.

(It has to be your username for it to appear in your profile).

• Check the Initialize this repository with a README box

• Click Create Repository button

You should now be redirected to your special repo like mine here

I checked my profile and this is what I found:

Wow!!! It works like magic!!! YAAAAAAY... WE DID IT!!!
