Thank you, I just converted short animations from mp4 to gif online. I recommend Canva animated images canva.com/join/caribbean-kasbah-ge... - search animated and there will be a few options to create a short video.

There is a link in the post that shows how to create a Profile README.

TLDR; Creating a repo with your handle as the name (Marlyn-suarez) will unlock the README.

Also if you want to learn more about GItHub, checkout lab.github.com/githubtraining/intr...

Remember, an animated gif is like a million words. So just add three gifs, and you should be good.
