GitHub profile README's

[Adam]

Has anybody done anything cool with their GitHub profile README yet? 😄

For anybody out of the loop, creating a repo identical to your username will give you the ability to create a README file that appears on your main profile page.

An 'awesome' list here: https://github.com/abhisheknaiidu/awesome-github-profile-readme

There is a bunch of cool templates organised here: https://github.com/kautukkundan/Awesome-Profile-README-templates

No, I'm too busy with new major release of laravel-translatable and reworking my website.
Including setting up imgix, getting into open graph and so on.

I will open a top secret 😉 sneak-peak thread with the new website. 🚀

That sounds way more productive! 😄

Yeah, I have wondered how much effort some put into this. 😳🙈
A click triggers a new issue comment, which triggers a GH Action, which rebuilds the readme. 🤯

Here is the sneak peak. 😉

@Adam yours is nice and simple :) My personal website's repo is already just my username unfortunately so I'm going to have to rename that before I can use this feature. I do like the zero config elegance of this naming scheme though

After all the years I've been using GitHub, I have never come across this before! Tomorrow that will be rectified if I get time!

It is pretty new! Just launched a few weeks ago and pretty quietly from their end. Easily forgiven for missing. I think it was supposed to be a 'hidden' feature. 😋

Not only hidden but a secret feature. 😉
