With renewed efforts to innovate and ship new features following their acquisition by Microsoft, GitHub quietly launched one of their most loved features yet — personal readmes. Personal readmes are markdown files that display front and center on your GitHub profile, allowing you to introduce yourself with more freedom than your profiles bio allows. Creating a profile readme is simple — just create a new repository and give it the same name as your username. Make sure the repo is set to public and check the ‘Add a README’ box before creating the repository.

Profile readmes also support images, links, GitHub action workflows, and more.
