How To Create A GitHub Profile README

Hello everyone!
GitHub recently released a feature that allows users to create a profile-level README to display prominently on their GitHub profile.
Alt Text
𝑰 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒂𝒍𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒚 𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒑𝒐 𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒊𝒕𝒔 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒘𝒊𝒏𝒈 " 𝑹𝒆𝒑𝒐 𝒂𝒍𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒚 𝒆𝒙𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒔"
How do I create a profile README?
Steps to begin:

  1. The profile README is created by creating a new repository that's the same name as your username. For example, my GitHub username is akanksha-raghav so I created a new repository with the name akanksha-raghav.
  2. Create a README.md file inside the repo with text, images, emojis, etc. Alt Text For exploring Markdown Syntax: https://guides.github.com/pdfs/markdown-cheatsheet-online.pdf
  3. Commit your new README and yes you are done😀! Note: At the time of this writing, in order to access the profile README feature, the letter-casing must match your GitHub username. Congratulations!! you have created a solid README for your Github.
