Some prerequisite :

  • Basic Markdown knowledge for smooth experience

Steps are as follows:

  • Create a new public repository with your username and ensure you use the same case as your github username.

  • Click on the checkbox: Initialize this repository with a README file. This will create a README.md file inside your repository.

  • Now you can edit the readme to your taste. Remember, you can add images, text, list etc. You also get free template from GitHub out of the box.
