Create a Stunning Github Profile README

What is a GitHub Profile README?

A GitHub Profile README is a markdown file that you can add to your GitHub profile to give visitors a quick overview of your skills, projects, and contact information. It's a great way to make a good first impression and showcase your work

Create a repo of your github name (github id) and also create a README.md file.

There are a few things that you should include in your GitHub Profile README:

  • Your name and a brief introduction.
  • List your skills and experience, highlighting your most relevant ones.
  • Showcase your projects, including links to their repositories.
  • Include your contact information so that people can reach out to you.
  • Tell people what you want them to do, whether it's subscribing to your newsletter or following you on social media.

A few posts ago we learned about readMeMaker: v0.1 which uses A.I. to help you consistently create a README.md file from your files.
