A README.md file introduces and explains a project. It is typically the first file viewers see when they visit your GitHub Portfolio or repository.
For more information, you can visit the GitHub Documentation Quickstart page.
A README.md file should typically include:
- Project Title and Description: A clear description of what the project does and its purpose.
- Usage: How to use the project, with examples of commands or parameters.
- License Information: The project's license type dictates how it can be used and distributed. By default, TechSmart Projects are [TODO: TYPE], which means [TODO]. Learn more at [LINK?]
You can format your README.md using Markdown, a lightweight markup language with a plain-text syntax that allows you to write in an easy-to-read and easy-to-write plain-text format. Markdown allows you to create clean formatting of headings, lists, links, and other elements to enhance readability and functionality.
For more information on formatting with Markdown, you can visit the GitHub Documentation page for Basic writing and formatting syntax.
