You can go to <a href="https://github.com/abhisheknaiidu/awesome-github-profile-readme">awesome-github-profile-readme</a>, where I've found inspiration when making my profile. </p> <p>Since the profiles are open-source, you can use some of the good ideas for your awesome profile!</p> <p>You can also check out <a href="https://github.com/kshyun28">my profile</a> for some ideas. 😉</p> <h3> <a name="adding-badges" href="#adding-badges"> </a> Adding Badges </h3> <p>For adding badges to your profile, you can check out <a href="https://github.com/Ileriayo/markdown-badges">markdown-badges</a>. The repository has a wide selection to choose from, ranging from programming languages to streaming platforms like Netflix.</p> <p>If you can't find what you're looking for or want to create custom badges, you can go to <a href="https://shields.io/">shields.io</a>, which is what <a href="https://github.com/Ileriayo/markdown-badges">markdown-badges</a> use. </p> <p>Here's an example where I used <a href="https://github.com/Ileriayo/markdown-badges">markdown-badges</a> on my profile.<br> <a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--rlrJWZvX--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_800/https://res.cloudinary.com/dlieqpdfd/image/upload/v1704616185/GitHub%2520Profile/badges-example_t6jyr6.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--rlrJWZvX--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_800/https://res.cloudinary.com/dlieqpdfd/image/upload/v1704616185/GitHub%2520Profile/badges-example_t6jyr6.png" alt="Markdown badges example" loading="lazy" width="800" height="127"></a></p> <h3> <a name="adding-icons" href="#adding-icons"> </a> Adding Icons </h3> <p>For adding a <code>skills</code> or <code>tech stack</code> section to your profile, I recommend using <a href="https://github.com/tandpfun/skill-icons">skill-icons</a> which provide beautiful icons.</p> <p>If your icon is not supported, you can go to <a href="https://simpleicons.org/">simpleicons</a>, which has over 2900 SVG icons for popular brands.</p> <p>Here's an example where I used <a href="https://github.com/tandpfun/skill-icons">skill-icons</a> for my profile's tech stack section. <br> <a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--QcxDGziL--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_800/https://res.cloudinary.com/dlieqpdfd/image/upload/v1704616185/GitHub%2520Profile/icons-example_nyo1sn.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--QcxDGziL--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_800/https://res.cloudinary.com/dlieqpdfd/image/upload/v1704616185/GitHub%2520Profile/icons-example_nyo1sn.png" alt="Icons example" loading="lazy" width="800" height="182"></a></p> <h3> <a name="using-emojis" href="#using-emojis"> </a> Using Emojis </h3> <p>In GitHub Flavored Markdown, you can use emojis.

Adding GitHub Stats For adding cards and stats for your GitHub activity, I recommend using github-readme-stats. You can customize your stat cards with different layouts and themes. Here's an example where I added GitHub stats to my profile. Adding Quotes Adding random quotes to your profile can add a nice touch for visitors. I found github-readme-quotes to be useful for doing just that. Here's what it looks like on my profile. I personally like to add quotes to provide some value to my profile visitors. More Ideas For adding more infographics to your profile, I recommend checking out metrics. This is one of the most starred repositories on GitHub with the github-profile topic, so I couldn't leave this out. Then I found this beautiful resource beautify-github-profile, where you can find more ways to customize your profile. If you're also feeling adventurous, you can explore the github-profile topic here. The repositories are sorted by the number of stars by default. Feel free to explore repositories with the github-profile topic. You might even find ones that aren't used as much but are just what you need. GitHub Profile Achievements While this is not related to customizing your GitHub profile's README.md, I feel the need to include it. If you go to your GitHub profile, you'll notice an Achievements section on the left sidebar. These achievements are fun to collect and can improve your overall GitHub profile. To learn more about what achievements are available and how to get them, check out the list of GitHub profile achievements. Conclusion To recap, we walked through how to create your GitHub profile. Then I showed how to format your profile with GitHub Flavored Markdown and HTML. After that, I shared where you can get inspiration for your own profile. Finally, I gave tips and resources on ways to customize your profile. I hope this can help you in making your awesome GitHub profile. I'd love to see what you can come up with!

I found a list of most, if not all Unicode characters with some similar :short_codes: but discord changes a bunch and it is tedious to go into the page, grab the short code, check the short code on discord and add it to the list for 3000+ characters.
