GitHub tips
GitHub renders README.md files directly on the repository page. Use headings, code blocks, and lists to make your project easy to understand.
Start with a clear one-line description, then add installation, usage, and contributing sections. Use ## for sections and ### for subsections.
Code blocks with language hints (```javascript) get syntax highlighting on GitHub. Always specify the language for code samples.
Add shields.io badges at the top: [](LICENSE). Copy the HTML or Markdown from shields.io.
