<p>It's been a while since it's possible to customize your <a href="https://felipeelia.dev/tags/github/">GitHub</a> profile. I never had any ideas to do something cool, but after watching <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-EGDH50hGE">this video</a>, I used <a href="https://rahuldkjain.github.io/gh-profile-readme-generator/">this tool</a> to update <a href="https://github.com/felipeelia/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">my GitHub Profile</a>.</p>

<p>The process is quite simple:</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:list {"ordered":true} -->
<ol><!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>Create a repository with the same name as your username. In my case, it was <a href="https://github.com/felipeelia/felipeelia" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://github.com/felipeelia/felipeelia</a>;</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->

<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li> Open the tool, fill in the necessary fields and generate the README.md file;</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->

<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li> Push the file to your repository.</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item --></ol>
<!-- /wp:list -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>There is a <a href="https://felipeelia.dev/tags/github-actions/">GitHub Action</a> that keeps the blog posts list updated, but the reference in the tool is outdated. I already sent a <a href="https://github.com/rahuldkjain/github-profile-readme-generator/pull/749">Pull Request with the necessary change</a>, but you can copy it from my repository and adjust it as needed.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Here are some profiles I used as a reference:</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:list -->
<ul><!-- wp:list-item -->
<li><a href="https://github.com/aachal28">https://github.com/aachal28</a></li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->

<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li><a href="https://github.com/fabdul88" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://github.com/fabdul88</a></li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->

<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li><a href="https://github.com/gautamkrishnar" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://github.com/gautamkrishnar</a></li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->

<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li><a href="https://github.com/zadilkhwaja">https://github.com/zadilkhwaja</a></li>
<!-- /wp:list-item -->

<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li><a href="https://github.com/sl4ureano">https://github.com/sl4ureano</a></li>
<!-- /wp:list-item --></ul>
<!-- /wp:list -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Finally, I created an account on <a href="https://ko-fi.com/felipeelia">Ko-Fi</a> and added that <em>Buy me a coffee</em> button. I don't expect any donations, but if anyone ever wants to, there's an easy way to do it.</p>
