Welcome to part 2 of this article series where I show you how to create a killer GitHub profile!

If you haven't read part 1, click here and follow along before reading this show.

I added sections for an intro, 🙋‍♂️About Me, 📊 My Github Stats, skills, Connect with me, ❤ Views and Followers, 🏆 Git profile Trophies.

In this second article, I will add the dynamic content injection and will get you familiar with GitHub Action workflows!

Finally, In that file, I put the following code in it, NOTE: Don't remove or replace anything:


Congratulations 🎊 🎆🎆🎆🎁, You created the best Readme file in your github profile
