This tutorial will show you about how you can add social badges(twitter, youtube, reddit etc) to your GitHub profile like the one shown below:

First you need to have a readme.md file in your github repositories.The repository name should be the same as of your github username.If you have doubt regarding creating the readme.md file, you can follow this tutorial:

Add README to your GitHub Profile

Once you have have successfully created your readme.md file, open it and paste the following code:

<a href=”https://twitter.com/your_twitter_username_here"><img src=”https://img.shields.io/twitter/follow/your_twitter_username_here?label=Follow&style=social"></a>

After you have added the above code to your readme.md file and have replaced “your_twitter_username_here” with your twitter username, you can commit changes.

And that’s it, you have added the social badge in your github profile.
