What is GitHub?
To understand github, firstly you have understanding about git. Git is an open source version control system was created by Linus Torvalds — the same person who created Linux.
So, Git is a version control system, but what does that mean? When developers create something (app,website — it can be anything), they make constant changes to the code. Version control systems keep these code straight, storing the modifications in a central repository. This allows developers to easily collaborate with team.

step-1:
After the sign in your account in the top right of your GitHub account you can see a plus(+) icon. click on the icon then you’ll find New repository and then click on that. or you can just type https://github.com/new for creating a new Repository .
step-2:
Type your GitHub username into the Repository name box. again remember repository name should be your GitHub username . I got an error because I’ve already created my own username repository.
then you can add some description if you want. Make sure this repository should be checked as public . after this click Initialize this repository with a README . then you’re almost done just click Create repository .
step-3:
Now this repository will show you a README.md file . click edit to update your information what you want to add your profile as any viewer of your profile can see. after editing your file — check Commit directly to the master branch. And then click commit changes . and you’re done.
this almost look like mine. depends on your content what you wanna show your profile details .
