Hi Scrimbassadors! Here's a GitHub Profile README template you can use as a starting point to make your Github profile more fun and informative.
A profile "README" is a special repository named exactly the same as your GitHub username. The
README.mdfrom that repo appears at the top of your GitHub profile, so you can add a short bio, highlight projects, share additional links and whatever else you like. This is just a base template we recommend styling it however you please, so get creative!If you're new to this, chec out GitHub's official guide (what it is + how to set it up).
Once you've customized this template with your own information, delete this instructional section at the top!
