Bonus Block: Adding a README to your Profile

Jan Simson

Adding a profile README

  • You can provide some extra information about yourself using a special README on GitHub
  • This will be displayed on your user profile
  • Special repository that exactly matches your username
    • <username>/<username>
    • My username is jansim, so the repository has to be named jansim as well
  • Only visible if repo is public
  • Inspiration: <bit.ly/awesome-gh>

Practical: Your Own Website

  1. Create a new repository matching your username
  2. Add a README to the repository
  3. Play around a bit with how it looks on your GitHub user profile
