Welcome back to the second part of my series on customizing your GitHub profile!

These sections help visitors quickly understand your skills, interests, and how to connect with you.
Part 1 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5
Add Batches of Social Link
Your social media links are crucial for building your professional network and showcasing your online presence. I used badges to link my social media platforms, but you can also showcase several kinds of skills, including programming languages. You can find a variety of badges from repository by Alexandre Sanlim or Ileriayo Adebiyi.
To make badges clickable and directly link to various platforms, the syntax should be like this:
[](https://www.linkedin.com/in/your-custom-URL/)
Add Skill Icons
Next, I highlighted the technologies I'm proficient in. This section helps recruiters and collaborators quickly assess my skill set. I used Skill Icons by Thijs to display my skills.
For skills not available in the repository, I simply added the corresponding skill icon image. If you don't know how to display images on the README.md file, check out How to Add Images to README.md File on GitHub Repository.
Wrapping Up
In this part, we covered how to set up your media and tech stack sections. These sections are essential for making a strong first impression and showcasing your technical skills. Stay tuned for the next part, where we'll dive into showcasing project demo videos effectively.
