It takes just a glance, maybe three seconds, for someone to evaluate you when they see your profile or portfolio for the first time. In this short time, the other person views you based on your personality, creativity, taste, activities, and many more. 

A person who has a relationship with technology might frequently visit a famous place called GitHub. A platform where more than 50 million people learn, share and work together to build software. It lets you and other work together on projects from anywhere and also contribute to the open-source projects. 

With the introduction of Profile READMEs, GitHub is now a one-stop-shop for not only showing off your tech skills and coding prowess but also anything else you might want to share about yourself. 

Think of it as a creative portfolio, personal website, and expressive canvas all rolled into one. Plus, all your code is there as well!

If you use GitHub to impress recruiters, friends, or anyone else coming across a GitHub profile, creating a profile README is the perfect way to stand out!

This article will show you how to create a badass one and make it stand out using some cool tricks and tools!

## What is a GitHub README? 🤷

It's the first canvas anyone sees in a repository. README files typically include information about the project, and each repository should have one. How users can use the project and contribute to the project is some good content from READMEs.

## What is a GitHub Profile README? 🙄

GitHub Profile README can be used to inform people of more information about ourselves. You can show off your hobbies, your sense of humor, and many awesome personality traits. It’s the best way to stand out from the rest of the Github community! 

It also supports [markdown](https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/), which means that we can add lots of fun stuff with HTML, emojis, GIFS, pictures, and many more.

> 👀 A sneak peek of my **[GitHub Profile README](https://github.com/kmhmubin)**.


## Create your own Profile README ➕

I'm assuming that you already have an account on [GitHub](https://github.com). Creating GitHub Profile README is very simple, but you probably would not find it on your own.

- To create it, go to [https://github.com/new](https://github.com/new) when you want to create a normal repository.
- Name the repository with your username - in my case, that would be `kmhmubin/kmhmubin.` 
<br/>As soon as you type it in, you will be **greeted** with a message telling you about this secret repository.

Fig: Creating GitHub Profile README

> NOTE: As I have already created the repo hence it's showing
“The repo already exists.”

Ensure your repository is Public and Initialize this repository with a ** README ** file and **`.gitignore`** file.

That’s it! GitHub does the rest of the work for you! A **` README.md`**
 will automatically be generated in this special repository. Github renders that file at the top of your Github Profile, above your pinned repositories and activity.

<br />

## Clone your Repository 📇

Now clone your new repository; it will help us to edit and test the README locally as much as we want. 

To clone the repository, click the Green Button called **Code**. It will give us a link to download the repository. Please copy the link because we need it later.

Fig: Copy your GitHub Profile repo link

We will use the [GitKraken](https://www.gitkraken.com/invite/7GXZMf2w) Git GUI tool. You can use the terminal if you want to. Now open the Git Kraken on your pc. Sign in to Git Kraken by using GitHub Account. 

- Click Clone a repo option from Git Kraken.

Fig: Clone the GitHub Profile repo

- Select GitHub and search your repository name and select the clone it button. It will start to clone your Profile repo on your local pc.

Fig: selecting your Profile repo

## Organize your repository folder 🧱

Go to the directory where you save your local version of the Profile repo. Here is an example of my repo directory.

>Note: Make sure hidden items option enable

![https://i.ibb.co/BjPZswZ/Screenshot-2020-11-11-201833.png](https://i.ibb.co/BjPZswZ/Screenshot-2020-11-11-201833.png)

Fig: local profile repo

Here is the folder structure at a glance.

```
kmhmubin:.
|   .gitignore
|   GitHub-Profile-Cover.jpg
|   LICENSE
|   README.md
|   
+---.github
|   \---workflows
|           blog-post-workflow.yml
|           topFollowers.yml
|           waka-readme.yml
|       
+---assets
|       dev.svg
|       facebook.svg
|       hashnode.svg
|       instagram.svg
|       linkedin.svg
|       mubinsodyssey.svg
|       twitter.svg
|       
\---src
        getTopFollowers.py
```

By default, when you clone your repo, it only contains 3 files or folder; those are `.git`, `.gitignore`, and ` README.md` Except for those, you need to create 3 more folders.

- **assets:** *In this folder, you save your images, GIFs, and icons.*
- **src:** *In this folder, you create a Python script named **`getTopFollowers.py`**. This script allows you to show your top followers.*
- **.github/workflows:** *In this folder, store your workflow files. Workflow files use YAML syntax and must have either a **`.yml`** or **`.yaml`** file extension.*

If you're new to YAML and want to learn more, see "[Learn YAML in five minutes.](https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/1214409/Learn-YAML-in-five-minutes)"

Commit your changes and push those files to your GitHub Repository.

## Personalize your Profile README 👨‍🎨

Just as with a personal website, Profile READMEs are essentially a snapshot of who you are. The options are endless. From creative profiles to interactive games, you can pretty much represent yourself however you want!

Here I'm going to complete one step at a time and commit these changes. You can follow along with me. At first, open your **`README.md`** file in an editor like [VS CODE](https://code.visualstudio.com) or [Sublime Text](https://www.sublimetext.com/).

### 📌 Cover Photo

I would suggest adding a nice header to make it more personalized. You can include a custom cover photo. You can make a cover photo in [canva](https://www.canva.com/join/bowls-nectar-poland) with `1920 x 583 px` resolution. Save your cover photos on your GitHub repo and copy the link. Here is an example code:

```markdown
![Banner](https://github.com/kmhmubin/kmhmubin/blob/master/GitHub-Profile-Cover.jpg)
```

![https://i.ibb.co/BNZCCZj/Screenshot-2020-11-13-001546.png](https://i.ibb.co/BNZCCZj/Screenshot-2020-11-13-001546.png)

### 📌 Live visitor counter

I wanted to see if I could make my profile look a little bit of fun. So I added a live visitor counter to see how many people visit my GitHub Profile. I choose the **Retro visitor counter** cause I look good with my cover photo. Here's the example code:

```html
<!-- retro visitor counter -->
<p align="center"> 
  <img src="https://profile-counter.glitch.me/{user-name}/count.svg" />
</p>
```

Change the `{user-name}` to your username in the URL like this:

```
https : //profile-counter.glitch.me/songoku/count.svg
```

The preview will look like this. PS: count number starts with zero.

### 📌 Welcome message with Gifs

Sayin hi with emoji looks impressive, but if you add a cool gif, it looks more expressive. So I'm adding a hand waving gifs with my welcoming text.

```html
<!-- welcome message -->
<h2>Hi there <img src="https://media.giphy.com/media/hvRJCLFzcasrR4ia7z/giphy.gif" width="25px"></h2>

<h3>Glad to see you here!</h3>
```

It's really looking more lively than a simple emoji.

### 📌 About yourself

In this section, you can add a bit of you, who you are, what you are doing, or what you are learning. You can add fun facts, jokes, etc.

### 📌 Social Links

You should definitely include some contact information in your profile, whether it’s an email, Twitter handle, LinkedIn, or other social media. Whichever you chose to include, you might want to use icon links to make it easier for people to find/notice. 

You can download free icons from [Iconscout](https://iconscout.com/?referral_code=SRQTGPEIVW7). If you need to edit any icons, you can do it by their [icon editor](https://iconscout.com/icon-editor). After downloading all the social icons, upload it to your GitHub repo. And copy all these links and add to your README. Here is an example

```html

### 📌 GitHub Stats

GitHub Readme Stats is a tool that allows you to generate GitHub stats for your contributions and repositories and attach them to your README. GitHub profile is really just a place to showcase your repositories and highlight your activity/contributions. To show your dynamically generated GitHub stats on your readme, follow those steps:

- Copy-paste this into your markdown content, and that's it. Simple! Change the **`?username=`** value to your GitHub's username.
- Here, we are showing GitHub Statistics and Most used languages side by side.

```html
<!-- GitHub stats -->

```python
# My followers
<!--START_SECTION:top-followers--> 
<!--END_SECTION:top-followers-->
