Prerequisite

Github Account

Step 1: Start with creating your profile ReadME

  1. Go to https://github.com/
  2. Login to GitHub
  3. create a new repository of your GitHub username

Step 2. Customizing your Profile

Initially, You need to think about how your profile going to look, what it will show, or what projects or skills you want to display in your profile section, It is always great to know things beforehand, gives you much more clarity of thought

Adding gifs and images Images and gifs are a great way to embed some flair into your profile. They are also super easy to add. You can now drag and drop a gif or image directly into markdown. If you’d like a little more control over your image, however, use this snippet of code:

<a href=”URL_REDIRECT” target=”blank”><img align=”center” src=”URL_TO_YOUR_IMAGE” height=”100" /></a>

Adding GitHub stats

Images and gifs are cool but you want something more to display in your profile, what about all those cool GitHub charts you might have seen floating around?

use this snippet of code:

![Your_Name GitHub Stats](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api?username=your_username&show_icons=true&theme=tokyonight)

If you want to add the GitHub streak like below to your profile, then head on over to https://github-readme-streak-stats.herokuapp.com/demo/

we haven’t talked about languages or tech stack right, In Github, we generally create many repositories and push our projects or source code into it, and we need to trace the languages or tech stack we used more or less, there is a way to track all the tech stack or languages you used most in your GitHub

use this snippet of code:

![Top Langs](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api/top-langs/?username=your_username&theme=tokyonight)
