Making Your GitHub Readme Profile Stand Out

In this article, I like to share with you how to make your GitHub Readme profile pop and stand out from the others.

Old 🙂

New 🤩

So, basically, you just make a new repository with the same name as your GitHub username. Like, if your username is 'raielly', you'd create a repo called 'raielly'.

Then, you use the README file to make changes to your page. There you can use Markdown and HTML to add your personal touch and make your profile stand out. show off whatever you want people to know about you, list your favorite languages and tech.

For some ideas, take a peek at this site:
https://zzetao.github.io/awesome-github-profile/

Cool images for your skills and social links, grab them from here:
https://github.com/alexandresanlim/Badges4-README.md-Profile

Once you're all set, don't forget to git commit your changes.

That's it! EzPz!

Now that you've seen how easy it is to redesign your GitHub page, What does your GitHub profile readme file look like? Share your GitHub Profile below 😊😎🔥
