hey Brian, how do you feel about GitHub's ongoing relationship with ICE?
Thanks so much GitHub team for joining us as a CodeLand Patron sponsor. Really excited that you all have chosen to support us, and very excited that the community here will be able to engage with your team.
Excited to see some awesome profile READMEs from community members here 😎
Amazing!
This is seriously awesome!
Hi there, here is mine : github.com/lalawuhan/lalawuhan
Nice! I love the images Thabi. How did you go about creating the gif animation?
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.
I'd love to see it! I already have a Canva account and this link is only for new Canva members. Can you please send it to me?! Thx! My GitHub is RozBarnes (and twitter)
You can do it with any canva account. Just search animations on canva
I absolutely love your readme <3
Hi! I'm really excited to be a part of this virtual conference~ As a newbie who greatly needed to be surrounded by other coders, I'm thank you guys helped sponsored it. ^^ I think this is my readme? Still haven't entirely used GitHub....><

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...
Thank youuuuu!~ ^_^
Got it! github.com/Marlyn-suarez/marlyn-su... This is really cool!! Ahhh, can't wait to continue using this website~ 😄
Ohhh Dammn! That octocat creator and Readme emojis are reaaaaally dope! My profile now needs some extra jazzz
If you are into Jazz, check out github.com/natemoo-re. They were able to embed their "now playing on Spotify" into their README.
Holly molly canolly! Spotify + GitHub? that's reaaaal classy stuff

Amazing. What have you learned in Vue so far?
So far, I've learned resusable vue components, state management, routing and nuxt.js :)
Writing about yourself is forever hard. This was very fun though!

Remember, an animated gif is like a million words. So just add three gifs, and you should be good.
I think I have the best/most important gif. But I definitely agree 😂
