new Github README feature is awesome

In Github a great README file helps your project to stand out from the sea of open-source software on GitHub. A README is like the face of your project. But now it can also be used to elaborate your current work and profile.

All you have to do is

  • create a new repository with your username, Initialize it with README.md file
  • In this README.md file You will notice a format which you can edit or you can use markdown and create a new one.And that's it.
  • If you want a cover image, just design one and upload it to this repository, And to show it use <img src="https://github.com/yourUsername/YourUsername/blob/master/imageName.extension">. Note: when you use <img src="imageName.extension"> it won't work (I don't know why, Although your cover image will show correctly in preview but after commit it won't show in your profile feature preview).
  • If you want to add social network badges, Visit https://github.com/alexandresanlim/Badges4-README.md-Profile

So, This is it guys,I hope i helped you and you will create a better one.

You may see my markdown code below,
