# Easiest way to set up your Github profile page

**[DEV](https://daily.dev/sources/devto)** · [@alekspopovic](https://daily.dev/alekspopovic) · 19 min read · 40 upvotes · 9 comments

## Summary

If you are a developer you probably have a GitHub account, and if you're like me your profile page is probably empty. In this tutorial I am going to show you some quick and easy tips to make your GitHub profile at least somewhat presentable. To set up the repo you need to create a super-secret type of repo, which is just a repo with the exact same name as your GitHub account name. We need to edit the readme file with some markdown and it will all show up on our profile page.

> Pretty cool article. Got me working overtime. I probably should have read the article in more depth, rather than jumping in ... but, it got me working on a cool Saturday project that was a bit different.
