How to Create a Custom GitHub Profile README
This guide explains how to set up a GitHub Profile README by creating a repository named after your account, enabling the README, customizing its content, and using community templates and stats tools to showcase personal information and project highlights on your GitHub profile.
Previously I wrote an article about some clever GitHub tricks, and today I’ll introduce another stylish feature.
Even with minimal code, we can keep the cool factor.
Since Microsoft acquired GitHub, the platform has introduced new UI changes, including a right‑hand sidebar and a full‑width repository header.
Previously, personal introductions on the GitHub home page were done with Gists; now the GitHub Profile README lets you create a custom personal homepage. See my new profile at https://github.com/Jstarfish.
1. Create a repository on GitHub with the same name as your account and check the README option.
2. The README.md of that repository will be displayed on your profile page; edit it directly and customize as you wish.
3. Borrow ideas from popular creators, such as using github-readme-stats to embed dynamic GitHub statistics in your README.
Explore the Awesome-Profile-README-templates repository for many creative templates you can adapt.
Finally, raise a toast to friendship and showcase your personalized GitHub profile.
