On the main page of Github you need to follow these steps to make your profile page look way nicer.
1.Create a new repository
2.It is advised to use the same user name as your repository name to make the page appear on your Github Profile Page.
3.Go through the process and choose to make it public
4.Of course don’t forget to add the readme.MD file.
5.Let's hit create a repository and voila.

Go to your profile and see the edit button to start writing your own About me page.

ABOUT ME 👩‍💻

(Place your about me on top of your page.)

I’m...I like..
Add bullet points:

  • I like learning languages and frameworks like React
  • I am a passionate front end developer
  • Currently researching to use chakra.UI in my React project -How to reach me(link of your Linkedin profile)

SKILLS 🛹

Make a list so it is way nicer and easier for eyes to catch for visitors. Like below.

  • 💻 HTML/CSS
  • 💻PHP/Laravel
  • 💻Javascript/React

ADD BANNER 👇

You can easily add a banner so that you can add visual aspects to your readme file.
You can do that by right clicking on your linkedin or twitter page and copy your address and that you can embed it like below.

CURIOUS TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE VISITED YOUR GITHUB PAGE?🤼

Here is a website will solve that: https://hits.dwyl.com/
Put your user name and repo name as you have given in Github
And place the link in your readme.MD file
Voila, the count is on!

ICONS 🌟

Don’t forget to make your page more fun with icons that you can embed very easily.
If you want you can just type an existing name of emoji ( : computer : ) 💻
Feel free to get some help from the emoji cheat sheet.

GIFS TO SHOW YOUR PROJECTS 🎥🎥

GIFS are amazing ways to give an impression of your work in a short amount of time instead of going through all your projects or just linking them with URL paths.
Pick your best project that you are proud to display.
That is a very interesting and easy-to-use tool suggested by a
junior developer. (https://www.screentogif.com/)
