Create A GitHub Profile README

GitHub recently released a feature that allows users to create profile-level READMEs for explicit display on their GitHub profile. This article is about how to use this new feature.

How do I create a profile README?

Profile README is created by creating the new repository of your GitHub username. for example. my username is narkhedesam then I have to create a new repository of named narkhedesam (Note: letter casing must match to your username). This is a ✨special ✨ repository that you can use to add a README.md to your GitHub profile. 

If you already have a project in a repository username/username and are interested in setting up a profile-level README, then I recommend you to rename that repository 

Follow these steps to create profile README
  1. Create a new repository with the same name as your GitHub username (included casing).
  2. Create a README.md file inside the new repository with content.
  3. Commit your fancy new README!!!
  4. Push changes to GitHub if you did it on your local computer.
