I recently discovered a new feature in GitHub that allows an user to add a README page for their profile.

Something like this :-

don’t judge me by my stats. its a work in progress.

To get started :

  • Create a repository with your GitHub username (like my username is isupersky so I named the repository as isupersky ). If you did everything correctly, then you should be able to see a message popup like this while creating the repository.
You found a secret! isupersky/isupersky is a ✨special ✨ repository that you can use to add a README.md to your GitHub profile. Make sure it’s public and initialize it with a README to get started.
your profile name instead of isupersky would be there
  • Now create a README.md file inside it.
  • Next step is to add all necessary content in the README file and to make it detailed.
  • You can use these resources to make it look good

Sample README
Markdown Cheat-sheet
Emojis
Brand Icons
Online Markdown Editor

  • All set now, just commit and push and see the changes to your profile.

Feel free to visit my profile and provide some feedback.
