Use the online editor on GitHub (Code >> Add file >> Create new file) to create e new file in the root of the repository. Make the file personal simply by naming it after your GitHub handle with an .md
file extension. My handle on GitHub is @lakruzz so my file will be lakruzz.md
.
Add two lines to the file:
- First line is your name (First + Last) preceded with a hash (
#
) and separated with a space. - Second line is your GitHub handle preceded with two hashes (
##
) and also separated with a space.
My file lakruzz.md
would look like this:
# Lars Kruse
## lakruzz
Add and Commit the file!
