# Profile READMEs

To display a Markdown file in your Gitea user or organization profile page, create a repository named `.profile` and add a new file named `README.md` to it.
Gitea will automatically display the contents of the file on your profile, in a new "Overview" above your repositories.

Making the `.profile` repository private will hide the Profile README.
Add Gitea Profile Readmes (#23260) Implements displaying a README.md file present in a users ```.profile``` repository on the users profile page. If no such repository/file is present, the user's profile page remains unchanged.

Docusaurus-ify (#26051) This PR cleans up the docs in a way to make them simpler to ingest by our [docs repo](https://gitea.com/gitea/gitea-docusaurus). 1. It includes all of the sed invocations our ingestion did, removing the need to do it at build time. 2. It replaces the shortcode variable replacement method with `@variable@` style, simply for easier sed invocations when required. 3. It removes unused files and moves the docs up a level as cleanup. --------- Signed-off-by: jolheiser <john.olheiser@gmail.com> 2023-07-26 04:53:13 +00:00			`sidebar_position: 12`
