awesome-github-profile-readme VS github-readme-stats

I stumbled upon a list of awesome GitHub Profile READMEs and spent quite some time reviewing them for inspiration. There are some very creative folks out there that have found interesting ways to express themselves and their projects. Those and other resources go into more examples of the things you can do:

With an account, you can create codebases, see your code, interact with other users, document your code, track your work, see stats about the code you've written, and much more. In today's job market, a Github profile can easily be your software development portfolio.

Here's a site to look up other people's profiles. You can also find a list of tools to help you build the best possible Github ReadMe. There are plenty of profile generators out there to make your life easier.

Github portfolio just means you update your readme page on Github (like https://github.com/abhisheknaiidu/awesome-github-profile-readme), which i could see as useful for providing information on your previous work on Github. it doesn't take long to do (you're just editing a markdown file). i don't have my first job yet, so i have to make a portfolio which demonstrates that yes i can build a website and do basic web dev stuff. with your experience, i doubt they're going to look for a portfolio for you. im rooting for anyone who wants to "compete with the younger folk". im 28 but i have no professional webdev experience (I have degrees in neuroscience and an MD, don't ask). i don't like kids getting the better of me, so I'm all for learning new things. my best guess is these technical questions you're having trouble with might be either really advanced senior level stuff in the role you're looking at or the algorithm based questions like LeetCode or HackerRank. If you haven't done a technical interview in decades, my guess is the nature of interviews might not be the same as you remember. definitely tons of youtube videos and websites to help prepare for those though.

https://github.com/abhisheknaiidu/awesome-github-profile-readme and https://github.com/coderjojo/creative-profile-readme are two collections of cool GitHub profile READMEs.

Here’s a list of some ReadMe’s if you haven’t seen it already https://github.com/abhisheknaiidu/awesome-github-profile-readme.

It is your place to say hello and present yourself. You can make do with a short paragraph about yourself, or completely kill it- but have one. It's almost rude not to 😉

You can add a lot of Anurag Hazra‘s GitHub ReadMe Stats features:

The GitHub Readme Stats project by Anurag Hazra generates dynamic statistics about your GitHub activities. This includes your top languages, total contributions, and more. You can use these stats to showcase your skills and dedication.

I didn't figured this on my own, the first time I learned about this feature was through the github-readme-stats project, under the responsive-card-theme section, it showed examples that I've used in my profile README and I've been also using on repositories as well.

https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats or shields.io

You can also add your top repositories or your favorite projects with a title, description, preview, and link. However, there is another way you can do this without README which I will explain very soon. You can add custom styling for repositories, check it out here.

You can find a few different stat widgets on anuraghazra's repo. They are fairly customizable and allow you to hide stats that may not be that flattering or could be misleading.

Add some markdown and HTML to your README to make it your own. Make careful to pick the appropriate font and color scheme for your profile so that it looks appealing. You can make a GitHub profile README that stands out and effectively advertises your work and abilities to potential employers and collaborators by using the advice in this article. Here are Some Github Repos, for adding extra features shield(have small badges) - https://github.com/badges/shields Adding gihubstack - https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats Add your articles - https://github.com/bxcodec/github-readme-medium-recent-article

There’s also a stats card project which looks fantastic: https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats

Almost everyone on GitHub uses Anurag’s GitHub-Readme-Stats, and I use it too. So I recommend checking out that repository and reading the well-written documentation to know everything about Adding and Customizing your GitHub Stats. As I said, the documentation is well-written so no need of writing a tutorial here.

At the end its nice to put some graphic elements. I choosed 2 : badges with technologies which i know and some information about what I do. Again i used for that predefined tools : http://github-readme-streak-stats.herokuapp.com/demo/ https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats
