Why it matters

A README file is essential for providing an overview of the project, its purpose, and how to use it. Many platforms like GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket use the README file to display project information prominently.

How it works

Create a README file in the root directory of your repository. Include sections such as project description, installation instructions, usage examples, and contribution guidelines. You can use Markdown to format the README for better readability. For example, you can start with a text editor or use an online Markdown editor to create your README file. Save it as README.md in the root of your repository. If you’re using GitHub, you can also use their web interface to create and edit the README file directly.
