Create a new repository that has the SAME name as your GitHub username. This will give you a notification that this is a special repostitory that will automatically live at the top of your profile page.
- Make sure the repo is public
- Make sure you initiate a README.md when your create this
- (In the screeshot below it says I already have one because I've done this step already, you won't see this error)
Now that we have our new project setup, we can modify the README to showcase all of our information and skills. There's a lot of templates that exist online, but I ended up opting for a hybrid/made my own. You can customize these as much or as little as you like. I kept mine as an informal resume and repository of my skills and history.
Be sure to update the template with your own information where it says YOUR_USERNAME_HERE or YOUR_LINKEDIN_URL_HERE
