For the past decade, Github has been heavily used for open-source collaborations, developer communities and code inspiration.

Why you need to build an Exceptional Github Profile ?

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

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

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.

2. Fill up your About section.

3. Select from 43 different Themes and customise your Github stats.

4. Add Usernames for your Socials.

5. Select Skills and Technologies you use often.

6. Add Usernames for Donations.

I don’t take any donations so i am gonna leave it empty but i suggest you to Donate to Vishwa Gaurav, the creator of this awesome website.

7. Add Additional details to make your profile more Attractive.

Add Github Trophies, i didn’t add them because mine aren’t very pleasing to view 🥲
Add Visitor Count
Add Random Dev Quotes and Random Memes, This can potentially show that you are a hilarious person to be around and work with.

8. Now go ahead and Copy Code.
