The first impression of your Github account will decide whether the visitor will stay and see your projects or will leave immediately so why don’t you make it beautiful!

Welcoming repository using only README.md and SVG

First, create a new repo with the same name as your Github username, which is a ✨special ✨ repository that you can use to add a README.md to your GitHub profile to be shown as the image above.

Then, create the header.svg

After that, initialize README.md and add an HTML img element with the source like “https://raw.githubusercontent.com/<username>/<username>/master/header.svg”

Finally, commit and push and that's it😃

Hope you like it!
