### Profile README

You can create a own profile README by create file `README.md` in a public repository with a name that matches your GitHub username. GitHub shows your profile README at the top of your profile page.

For example see [abhisheknaiidu/awesome-github-profile-readme](https://github.com/abhisheknaiidu/awesome-github-profile-readme).

### Repository Templates

You can enable templating on your repository which allows anyone to copy the directory structure and files, allowing them to instantly use the files (e.g. for a tutorial or if writing boilerplate code). This can be enabled in the settings of your repository.
