Your GitHub profile README is a place to introduce yourself, highlight your projects, and share what you’re learning.
If you need some inspiration, I maintain a collection of 199 GitHub profile README templates, organised by style so you can find a layout that suits you.
👉 Browse the templates on GitHub
The collection includes:
| Style | Templates |
|---|---|
| Minimal & Clean | 36 |
| Animated | 54 |
| Stats-Heavy | 30 |
| Badge Collections | 15 |
| Creative & Interactive | 11 |
| Classic | 53 |
For a simple introduction, start with a minimal template. If you prefer a more visual profile, explore the animated designs or layouts with badges and statistics.
You can set up your profile in a few steps:
- Create a public repository with the same name as your GitHub username.
- Choose a template and click Raw to copy its Markdown.
- Paste it into a
README.mdfile at the root of your profile repository. - Replace the names, links, project details, and usernames in any statistics widgets.
- Preview your changes and commit them.
Use the template as a starting point. Keep the sections that help someone understand your work, and remove anything that doesn’t fit you.
This collection builds on Durgesh Samariya’s original project, with credit to the individual template authors. Contributions to add templates or improve existing ones are welcome.
⭐ If you find the collection useful, consider starring the repository.
