READMEs
A README file is used to communicate important
information about a repository including:
- What the project does
- How to run the project
- Why it's noteworthy
- Who maintains the project
READMEs
If you put a README in the root of your project,
Github will recognize it and automatically display
it on the repo's home page.
README.md
READMEs are Markdown files, ending with the .md
extension. Markdown is a convenient syntax to
generate formatted text. It's easy to pick up!
Markdown Syntax
Markdown syntax supports the following:
- Headings
- Text Styles (bold, italics, etc.)
- Code Blocks
- Lists (ordered, and unordered)
- Links
- Images
- And more!
Markdown
Headings
In Markdown, we can write six different levels of
headings, all using the # character.

# The Largest Heading


## The Second Largest Heading
### The Third Largest Heading
...
###### The Smallest Heading
Github Gists
Github Gists are a simple way to share code
snippets and useful fragments with others. Gists
are much easier to create, but offer far fewer
features than a typical Github repository.
gh pages
Gitub Pages are public webpages that are hosted
and published via Github. They allow you to create
a website simply by pushing your code to Github.
static sites
Github Pages is a hosting service for static
webpages, so it does not support server-side code
like Python, Ruby, or Node. Just HTML/CSS/JS!
User Site Project Sites
You get one user site per Github account. This is where You get unlimited project sites! Each Github repo can
you could host a portfolio site or some form of personal have a corresponding hosted website. It's as simple as
website. The default url is based on your Github telling Github which specific branch contains the web
username, following this pattern: username.github.io content. The default urls follow this pattern:
though you can change this! username.github.io/repo-name
