Today I would like to share a new feature that has come up in GitHub where you can add a README file for your profile! Yes finally we can have a short description about yourself on the profile page in GitHub.

It is really simple to get started with having your own GitHub profile Readme.

First just head over to create new repository and give the repo name same as your GitHub username (in my case it’s madhuresh97) and you will see a green message box like the photo below:

Make sure you have checked “Initialize this repo with a README” as this is the place where you will be writing about yourself which will be displayed in your GitHub profile.

Now commit your content what you would like any person visiting your GitHub profile to know about you.

Finally git commit your changes.

That’s it!! 🚀

This is what my GitHub profile README looks like:
