Hello and welcome again to my blog. In this article we'll be walking through creating an awesome github profile readme file.

What is a readme?

A readme is a file that contains information about other file that means your project readme file will contain information about that project. So your profile readme will contain as many information about you as possible.

Getting started

Customizing your profile readme is as easy creating a github repository all you need to do is to create a repository with same name as your github username. in my case my git hub user name is alabo-excel so i will be creating a repository with the name alabo-excel.

in my case i have the repository created already that's why i have that little warning there so in your case since you don't have a repository created with your name that should work just fine.

if you noticed i clicked the public radio button and checked the add readme file checkbox so i can write out the content of my readme on github but if you don't want to you can go ahead and not click on the add readme and create repository.

if you clicked the add readme button you should be on this page now. github.com_alabo-excel_alabo-exce(Laptop with MDPI screen).png click on the little pencil icon to start editing your readme file. now you need to design your readme file using markdown.
