Too Long; Didn't Read
A READme file is a text file (markdown) that introduces and explains a project. It contains information needed to understand what a particular project is all about. It must be able to communicate to visitors on how to install, how to use, and how other developers can collaborate with you. READme files are essential to retrieve a project on Git Hub as well as in search engines, for example; google.com. It is best to create a READme. file along with creating your. repo on GitHub for it to be the first file to be created on your project.
