I was curious as to how to add images to my github repository so my pursuit for knowledge began and Yo ! guess what I figured it out 😊😊😊😊.

Snapshot of Image on readme file

What are ReadME file ?

A README file is a text file (commonly readme. txt) that contains information for the user about the software program, utility, or game. README files often contain instructions and additional help, and details about patches or updates.

README.md files are created using Markdown which you can use to format text and add images. The GitHub Guide for Mastering Markdown has some helpful hints that can get you started with this.

Upload Images on ReadME

To achieve this you can simply use this markdown command in your readme file ![Image description](link-to-image) , so in my own case my snapshot was already in my project directory so all I need to do was replace the (link-to-image) with the correct image file path.

Now it looked like this
