What is GitHub profile README?

GitHub shows your profile README at the top of your profile page. You can share information about yourself with the community on GitHub by creating a profile README.

You decide what information to include in your profile README, so you have full control over how you present yourself on GitHub.

My GitHub profile looks this way:

First of all, to create a special repository, you will need to have a new repository with the name that matches your GitHub username, so go ahead and create it if you still don’t have it.

Then we will need to create a README file in it with the content you want. I have used some generator that helped me to fast get some readable casual style that looks good. Here it is https://github.com/rahuldkjain/github-profile-readme-generator.
