Welcome 👋

As discussed, GitHub allows you to create a special repository called a Profile README that will be displayed on your profile.

In this lesson, you'll learn how to create that exact special Profile README to showcase your skills and projects effectively. Follow these steps to set it up:

1. Create a New Repository

   • Go to your GitHub profile and click on the "Repositories" tab.
   • Click the "New" button to create a new repository.
   

2. Special Repository

   • Name the repository exactly as your GitHub username, matching the casing.
   • For instance, if your username is "adrianhajdin," the repository should be named "adrianhajdin."
   

3. Set the Repository to Public

   • To ensure the README is visible on your profile, set the repository's visibility to public.
   

4. Initialize with a README

   • Select the option "Initialize this repository with a README." This step is crucial as it creates a README file within the repository that you can customize.

5. Create the Repository

   • Click the "Create repository" button to finalize the creation with the specified settings.
   

6. Special README

   • The README file in this repository will be displayed on your GitHub profile. You can customize it with text, images, links, and more to showcase your skills and projects.
   

7. Home Profile

   • Navigate back to your GitHub profile to see the changes. The repository you created will be displayed with the README content.
