1️⃣ What is a GitHub Profile?

Your GitHub profile is like your online resume for coding.

When someone opens your GitHub link (like this one of yours): 👉 https://github.com/shadil-rayyan

They can see:

  • Your name & photo
  • Your projects (repositories)
  • Your skills
  • How active you are (green contribution boxes)

👉 Companies, teachers, and other developers look at this.

2️⃣ What is a GitHub Profile README?

A Profile README is a special page that appears at the top of your GitHub profile.

It can show:

  • Who you are
  • What you are learning
  • Your skills (HTML, CSS, Python, etc.)
  • GitHub stats
  • Contact info

Example:

When people open your profile, they see a custom introduction instead of a blank page.

3️⃣ How Does GitHub Know This Is Your Profile README?

GitHub shows a README ONLY IF:

✅ You create a repository ✅ The repository name is EXACTLY your username

For you:

Username: shadil-rayyan
Repository name: shadil-rayyan

⚠️ Spelling must match 100%
