Frequently Asked Questions
How does a GitHub profile README work?
GitHub has a special feature where creating a repository with the exact same name as your account username displays that repository's README.md directly on your public GitHub user profile page.
Are external GitHub stats cards free to use?
Yes! The github-readme-stats API is a free open-source service that automatically queries your public contribution graph and renders SVG cards.
