I Made a Custom GitHub Profile README Portfolio (and you can, too)

I made a custom GitHub profile page that’s visually stunning and incredibly easy to make. Because, “all software developers need a portfolio” - this is the title of a video I made 2-3 years ago, and it still holds true. But now, well as of two years ago… but still now, you can easily do that with a custom GitHub Profile README file. It allows you to turn your bland GitHub profile into a beautifully custom, and professional web page like this, that tells the story of your work through your lens, just as I have with mine. And today, I’m going to show you how I created my custom GitHub Profile README, and how you can do it too.

    Once you understand how to put the elements into the readme, it's very easy to go wild and make it 100% unique. I would recommend someone use a generator at first, and then read the code it generates, and understand how it works and how you can add elements and remove elements

    I'm currently getting my CS degree as a sophomore right now, and I do think it's worth considering as some companies do require you to work for a bachelor's degree in some internships such as Amazon. Totally still a viable route, it's such a safety net as salaries can vary greatly by degree level and occupation.

    It would have been better if you made a repository from scratch where you practically perform everything step by step instead of orally saying what you 'did'. Not so helpful for me as a beginner who has no idea where to start!
