## **Crafting an Impressive GitHub Profile README**

In this article, we'll explore how to create an impressive GitHub Profile README to stand out in the developer community.

## Getting Started

1. **Creating a New Repository for Your Profile README**


![IMG 1](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/ic7x5rm9coaok3sc01oj.png)

Start by creating a new repository with the same name as your GitHub username. This repository will be your profile README repository. For example, if my GitHub username is "vivek09thakur" then the repository should be named "vivek09thakur/vivek09thakur"

2. **Add a README file**

While creating this repo you must check "Initialize this repository with: README box"

> And make sure that the repo is public

And now you are all set just go to that repo and start editing README.md file of the repo and after you edited and wrote everything about you , just save and commit changes and done. 

This will show as a cover page of your github profile.

## Some tips from me :D

There are few things which you can do to make your profile readme looks awesome.

1. **Expressing yourself, your passion, your hobbies, things you like, what are you learning and how peoples can reach to you**

3. **Adding a stat card to your github**

This will not only for visitors but also for yourself to get to know how far you are going. To add a stats card you can visit [this link](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats) and a stats card to your profile.

> Still there are many things like your social account links , github trophies but these are some important things from my POV.

**Don't forget to checkout [my github](https://github.com/vivek09thakur).**
