Creating a profile README on GitHub

[Clique aqui para ler em português]

GitHub now allows you to create a repository with your username and the readme for that repository is displayed on your profile page.

In practice

First access your GitHub profile and create a new repository with your username, mine was like this.

https://github.com/walternascimentobarroso/walternascimentobarroso

After the project has been created, add a readme, and use the markdown to make your readme excellent.

Shield

It is common to use shield.io to create small images to improve the readme layout, creating some medals.

Emoji

For a more elegant layout we can use emoji, for references we have both Emojipedia and EmojiCheat.

Hit Counter

To mark how many visits your profile is receiving you can use the links:

https://visitor-badge.laobi.icu/
https://hitcounter.pythonanywhere.com/
https://hits.dwyl.com/
https://github.com/arturssmirnovs/github-profile-views-counter
