How I made my Github profile stand out !

Github
GitHub is a code hosting platform for version control and collaboration. It lets you and others work together on projects from anywhere.
For the past decade, Github has been heavily used for open-source collaborations, developer communities and code inspiration.

Heres a Sample Github profile

Why you need to build an Exceptional Github Profile ?

There are two major reasons to build an exceptional Github profile -:

  • It works as a Resum
  • It shows your Knowledge and Skills to Recruiters
  • It helps in connecting with other Developers

1. Choose a Github profile Readme Generator.

There are several readme generators online like
https://rahuldkjain.github.io/gh-profile-readme-generator/
https://share.streamlit.io/rahulbanerjee26/githubaboutmegenerator/main/__init__.py
but personally i prefer https://gprm.itsvg.in because README file generated using it is way more attractive than others i mentioned.

1. Enter your Github Username.
