GitHub Secret: Add a README to your Profile

Julian Pufler on July 09, 2020

So I just played around with the 'repository creation' page on GitHub and found a secret which I wasn't aware they added, so I thought I'd share it...

That's so great. I even added a pure CSS clock to show visitor staying time!

There's a bug I've just reported: for any h1/h2/h3/h4 headings, click the link icon on its left, then your user name under your avatar will be messed up!

Nice find! What device did you experience this problem on? On mobile it seems to be not the case.

Virtually any desktop browser, I've tested chrome & firefox in win, safari & chrome in macos, all latest. Wide/normal screen only, mobile layout doesn't have the bug.

But don't worry, I've reported to GitHub and expect it to be fixed soon.

I record my screen using the native macOS screen recording app and then convert it to GIF using some random website, I normally just search for "video to gif" and then take the first one that comes up

Looking for awesomeness and inspiration - not much there, did you remove it again?
