Step 5: Add an image

Now, you're going to add an image. You can add an image of yourself or anything else you'd like to feature. You'll also learn how to create descriptive text, or "alt text", for images, and how to create links.

Images

Let's add an image. Don't forget to include descriptive text in the square brackets. This text is read aloud for people using screen readers. It's also shown at times when your , or in case your image doesn't display, such as when there's a poor connection.

Step 6: Add a profile link

Your image looks great! Next, you'll want to add links to your awesome portfolio projects. Links help create context when you’re communicating in issues and pull requests.

You might link to a website, a repository, or even a line of code. To create a link, put the text you want to display in square brackets, and the URL in the following parentheses.

[GitHub](http://github.com)
