What is Profile Readme?
A profile README is a special repository named after a GitHub username that displays custom content directly on the user's profile page. It uses standard Markdown, so developers can add text, images, badges, and links to showcase skills, projects, or contact information. GitHub automatically detects this repository and renders its README on the profile instead of requiring a separate page.
