Questions

What should a good README include?
A good README includes a project title, description, installation instructions, usage examples, contributing guidelines, and license information. Badges for build status, version, and license are also helpful.
What format should a README be in?
Most projects use Markdown (.md) format for READMEs. Markdown is rendered nicely on GitHub, GitLab, and other platforms, supporting headings, code blocks, links, images, and tables.
How do I add badges to my README?
Use shields.io to generate badge URLs for build status, version, license, and more. Insert them as Markdown images at the top of your README, e.g., ![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-blue).
Can I preview the generated README before downloading?
Yes. The tool shows a live Markdown preview as you fill in the form fields, so you can see exactly how the final README will render on GitHub or GitLab.
Does the README generator store my project information?
No. All input stays in your browser. The generated Markdown is produced client-side and nothing is sent to an external server.
