What this tool does

The GitHub Profile README Generator builds the Markdown for your special username/username profile repository — an intro header, an about section, social badges, a tech-stack row, and dynamic stat cards (GitHub stats, streak, top languages, trophies) — from a simple form, with a live preview.

How it works

You pick which sections to include and the tool assembles standard community widgets (github-readme-stats, streak-stats, and shields.io badges) into clean Markdown. The logic is a pure function, so the same inputs always produce the same README. Copy it or download README.md and commit it to your profile repo.

Privacy

Everything runs locally in your browser. The cards render live from public GitHub data when your README loads on GitHub — nothing you type here is uploaded or stored.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need coding skills to use this?
No. Just fill in the form, copy the generated markdown, and paste it into your GitHub profile repository. The tool handles all the formatting.
How do I create a GitHub profile README?
Create a new repository on GitHub with the same name as your username (e.g., username/username). Add a README.md to this repository — GitHub shows it on your profile.
Will the GitHub stats update automatically?
Yes. The stats cards use the GitHub Stats API which updates every 24 hours with your latest activity.
Can I customise the theme?
Yes — choose from 10+ color themes including dark, radical, merko, and gruvbox.
