How To Create Beautiful and Useful ReadMe Documents For GitHub

Creating a readme file sounds easy, and that is usually the case. However, creating a good, useful and on point readme file is rather challenging. So from that reason I decided to create this video as a simple guide about how to create one. So I hope you find it helpful. And if you want to add or correct something, feel free to do it in the comments down below.

Finally a video with english title and the English language is used to explain things.
Not that I have any beef with those indian videos but i wish they would put what kind of language they are using for the video in the title so that I can save time searching.

That's very helpful and also it was great the way you structured the video as well. My humble suggestion please use the bg music at a lower level or maybe not at all. It was difficult to hear you.

Arent wolves extremely private? Like they avoid populated areas at all costs? I doubt they'd roll up in a suberb back yard and kill a dog.
