As we know, if we create a repository on Github by the exact name as username, then it's provide us a special feature that allow us to customize our Profile by .README file.
But, it there any way get this feature in GITLAB also?
[Note: I've already tried to do this by the same process as we do in Github. But it's not working for GITLAB.]
See GitLab 14.5 (November 2021): it should be possible now.
Add personal
README
to profileYou can now add a
README
section to your GitLab profile! This is a great way to tell others about, your interests, how you work, or anything else you want!To add a
README
section, create a new public project with the same name as your user account and add a newREADME
file.The contents of that file are automatically shown on your GitLab profile.
See Documentation and Issue.
Note that GitLab 15.9 (February 2023) also includes:
Discord user ID in GitLab profile
Users can now add a link to their Discord user ID to their GitLab profile. This link is also returned through the Users API.
