Most of you know me for my consistency, a golden arrow in my blog series. I've written 1000 articles in 1008 days! Almost an article a day, and my honeymoon was the only holiday I ever took. I'm super proud of this achievement; it has been a fantasti...

It's not the first time I'll be talking about community. I think it's an essential aspect of any successful tool. This shows in my previous explorations of Astro, Medusa, and now Vendure as well. All these products thrive in a super open, welcoming, ...

The cool part about Vendure is how easy it is to set up and how abstract each layer is. Basically, we get the following elements: External database Server Worker Admin UI Frontend While this is amazing, it also brings a bit of complexity when it co...

The previous article looked at customizing Vendure on a data and process level. In this article, we'll look at customizing emails, as they are often a big part of a webshop system. We'll be looking at two different layers of customization for customi...

Even though Vendure is a pretty significant project out of the box, in some cases, we might want to go in and modify some elements to work to our specific use case. In this article, I'll take a high-level look at some elements we can customize within...

I find my GitHub profile pretty important when it comes to being an active developer. Unfortunately, most of my projects are private due to business requirements. But still, it's a showcase of who you are.
So let's dive into pimping your profile, but adding a custom readme!

Let's start by adding a .readme; this will allows us to create our own little teaser of who we are.
To add this readme visit the following URL and create a new repository.
GitHub New Repo, The name should be the same as your username. (Rebelchris/rebelchris for me).
You will now see an 8-bit giggling GitHub octocat and the notice you found the special repository. Make sure to add the .readme here!
Of course, it's now up to you to style your readme page; there are some amazing examples out there!
You can use markdown to style it, and of course, we can use the repo to store images!
For example, I created an asset folder and uploader my header in it for my header. Then I'm using the following to add it to the .readme.

Another cool thing to add is the GitHub Readme Stats. Follow instructions on the repo to get something like this:

Mine is still very basic at this point, but I'm planning on making it more bespoke.
To give you an idea of some great GitHub profiles take a look at these:
