So, what exactly is a Github Profile README? 🤔

Since the release of the Github Profile README, which happened just about a couple of days ago, there have been a lots and lots of tweets and articles on Twitter and DEV about what the Github Profile README is about and how you can set up your own. I found this awesome article by Monica Powell to get you started:

This is actually awesome! ♥

But there are still some repos like → github.com/wesbos/wesbos
I wonder when he realizes and renames his website project repo to something other than his username.😀

[Abhishek Naidu]

Thanks Bro 🎉

[Abhishek Naidu]

Yes true bro! 😂

[Waylon Walker]

He still needed to click the enable button. I'm sure he is aware.

[Darío Kondratiuk]

187 now 😂

[Abhishek Naidu]

Yea bro, Growing like a 🚀 😂

[MxL Devs]

Congrats on the stars :)

[Abhishek Naidu]

Thanks!

[Jérémie Astor]

Congrats! 🍾
My main project, although very niche (a programming language aimed towards music) has 149 and is on github since 2016!!!

You surf on the wave plus nicely communicate about it 👍

[Abhishek Naidu]

Oh, I just gave a star 🚀 and made it to 150 now
BTW, Thanks :p

[Jérémie Astor]

That's very kind of you! Thanks.

[Abhishek Naidu]

Yea, No problem 😉

[Maxim Zhukov]

Thanks for some great examples. I had not been aware of aligning texts or images until I saw this one: github.com/harshkumarkhatri/harshk...

Thus, as a part of your README.md you can use both options:

• <p align="center">...</p>
• <img align="right" />

[Abhishek Naidu]

Glad, you liked it :)

[spiritupbro]

you put your repo at the right time at the right place

[Abhishek Naidu]

Thanks 🚀😃

[Raphael Habereder]

I don't want to be that guy, but the title is kind of misleading and makes you think there would be general tips and tricks to promote any project. You don't really talk about the topic you put in the title.

I congratulate you for the stars, but this is basically another "How To Create A GitHub Profile README" post. The title could be a tad more accurate.
You got me, this time! :D

[Abhishek Naidu]

Yea I agree with you, but i just wanted to have a catchy title, so that people can atleast open the post 😅

[Haany Ali]

I used a simple approach too. Any suggestions are welcome. github.com/MarikIshtar007

[Abhishek Naidu]

Yea, it looks fine to me, you can make a PR if you're interested :)

[Haany Ali]

Thanks, I'd love to!

[Abhishek Naidu]

Strange, I actually didn't knew about you're article!

[Nebojša Kamber]

Shouldn't this "repo" be an article? It seems like a list of links 🤔

[Julian Pufler]

I built a project that helps people show a visitor count badge and a few others, it's open source, check it out here
