Customise your Github profile with a README.md that screams READ ME!

Customise your Github profile with a README.md that screams READ ME!

Adding a summary to your Github profile is a great way to show-off your projects, and it’s particularly useful for communicating your work to a non-technical audience.

To add a profile summary to your Github account, create a repository named after your Github username. Add a README.md file to this repository, this will appear as the landing page to your Github profile. Customise this file to make it creative and informative.

If you choose to initiate the repository with a README.md file, Github will provide a template for you to start with. This file can be edited and previewed directly on Github. If you’re a complete beginner to markdown, check out this amazing readme generator, no coding required . Once your README file is generated, upload it to your Github repo.
