3. **Projects**
   - Repository descriptions
   - Languages used
   - Star count
   - Fork count
   - Deployment links

## Setup Guide

### 1. Profile README
Create a great README.md in your profile repository (username/username):

1. Create a new repository named exactly as your GitHub username
2. Add a README.md file
3. Include the following sections:
   ```markdown

   ## About Me
   Brief introduction about yourself

   ## Skills
   List your key technical skills

   ```

### 2. Repository Optimization

#### Essential Repository Elements
1. **Description**
   - Add a clear, concise description
   - Include relevant topics/tags
   - Example: "A modern task management app built with React and Node.js"

2. **Website/Deployment Link**
   - Go to repository settings
   - Under "About" section
   - Add your deployment URL in the "Website" field
   - Format: `https://yourdomain.com`

### 3. Add devb.io Profile
Showcase your devb.io profile in your GitHub bio:
1. Go to your GitHub profile settings
2. In the "Bio" field, add your devb.io profile:
   ```
   🚀 Check out my dev profile: devb.io/your-username
   ```
3. This helps others discover your comprehensive developer profile

> **Pro Tip**: Adding your devb.io profile to your GitHub bio increases your visibility and provides a quick way for others to see your full developer portfolio.

### 4. Social Links
For detailed instructions on adding social links, see our [Social Links Setup Guide](02.1-GitHub-Social-Links).

## Verification

After setting up your GitHub profile:
1. Visit your devb.io profile
2. Check if all information is imported correctly
3. Verify project links and descriptions
4. Ensure social links are working
