This README.md file greatly enhances your GitHub profile, beautifies it, and allows you to showcase your stats and achievements in your desired fashion!
So the very first thing to do is go to your GitHub page and click on the ‘+’ symbol on the top right corner and click on new repository.
The next step is to enter the repository name. The repository name should be the same as your GitHub username. As you type the repository name, you will see a box that pops below your repository saying that this is a secret feature.
Next, make sure that the repository is public and Add a README file checkbox is checked.
Now click on the Create Repository button.
The README.md file of this repository becomes your profile readme. You can edit this in markdown format and decorate your readme however you want.
