There are a lot of tools that help to create templates for this. Or else, you can refer to the documentation to do more cute things.

You can fork my README file and can edit as you want to customize your own profile. Don’t forget to share some stars.

You can edit the codes and can create a much more magnificent way of showing yourself.

A GitHub profile README is a requirement, whether you’re making fun and animated version for your fellow devs to view or using it as a pseudo-resume for recruiters to look at. It gives visitors a better idea of your talents, hobbies, and, most importantly, who you are.

Hope this helps. Share your thoughts too.
