How To Customize "GITLAB" Profile?

Question

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.]

Answer 1

See GitLab 14.5 (November 2021): it should be possible now.

Add personal README to profile

You 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 new README 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.
