Managing your profile README

You can add a README to your GitHub profile to tell other people about yourself.

About your profile README

You can share information about yourself with the community on GitHub by creating a profile README. GitHub shows your profile README at the top of your profile page.

You decide what information to include in your profile README, so you have full control over how you present yourself on GitHub. Here are some examples of information that visitors may find interesting, fun, or useful in your profile README.

  • An "About me" section that describes your work and interests
  • Contributions you're proud of, and context about those contributions
  • Guidance for getting help in communities where you're involved

Profile README file displayed on profile

You can format text and include emoji, images, and GIFs in your profile README by using GitHub Flavored Markdown. Weitere Informationen findest Du unter „Erste Schritte zum Schreiben und Formatieren auf GitHub“.

Vorrausetzungen

GitHub will display your profile README on your profile page if all of the following are true.

  • You've created a repository with a name that matches your GitHub username.
  • The repository is public.
  • The repository contains a file named README.md in its root.
  • The README.md file contains any content.
