Hey Pratik,
I completely agree that documentation is on of the most importation thing during the development of software and every git-Repository should have a least a README file.
My steps usually are adding tags to a GitHub repository after I created a new repository and update the README during development. For many student projects, in which we also developed UIs, I often add screenshots after the project has ended. This gives interested people a little preview of what was built and how it looked like. Usually research projects are not very longer maintained, so often you will not be able to start an application after a couple of months again. So if it was hosted on a university server, it literally dies after the season 👋 A README with pictures gives also future employees a way to see what you have built and understand it more easily, also if they are not so tech related. For my side projects I do this every time and it is very nice to see your process over time.
For open-source projects and libraries I also want to mention that badges are also a good way to show stats and maintenance. I found some nice badges here: shields.io
