What is Special Repository in GitHub?

Github is an open-source platform where developers build projects and can contribute to other open-sourced projects. It is one of the biggest open-source platforms which provides developers free storage to keep their code which can be further used by any other developer if the requirements are similar. Github offers many different features that help organizations and developers for a seamless experience in building applications. Some of its great features are Github Actions, Cloud Storage for storing Codes, Github Container Registry, etc. One such feature that is not directly visible is the Github Special Repository feature which Github provides for building attractive Github Profiles.

Special Repository

The Special Repository in Github allows developers to expose their interests and skills and helps to build a strong profile. It is very simple to create your own Special Repository. To create a special repository just create a new repository with the same name as the username of your Github Profile. Anything written in the README.md file of that repository will be reflected directly in the user's profile. In this Special Repository, the user can add a lot of details about himself for eg, his skills, interests, projects, resume, etc. Below is an image that gives an idea of how Github Profiles looks like after adding a special repository.
