About your profile

Your profile page tells people the story of your work through the repositories you're interested in, the contributions you've made, and the conversations you've had.

You can add personal information about yourself in your bio, like previous places you've worked, projects you've contributed to, or interests you have that other people may like to know about. For more information, see Personalizar tu perfil.

Si agregas un archivo de README a la raíz de un repositorio público con el mismo nombre que tu nombre de usuario, dicho README aparecerá automáticamente en tu página de perfil. Puedes editar el README de tu perfil con el Marcado Enriquecido de GitHub para crear una sección personalizada en tu perfil. Para más información, consulta Administrar el README de tu perfil.
