How to embed images in GitHub Readme Files

To embed images in GitHub Readme files, you can follow these steps:


Upload the image file to a location accessible via a URL, such as a public image hosting service like Imgur or an image file stored in your GitHub repository.


In your Readme file, use the following Markdown syntax to embed the image:

![Alt text](image_url)

Replace Alt text with a brief description of the image for accessibility purposes, and image_url with the URL of the image file. For example:

![A cute kitten](https://i.imgur.com/9Wk8j3U.jpg)

Save your changes to the Readme file and commit them to your repository.

When someone views your Readme file on GitHub, they should be able to see the embedded image.


Note that some image hosting services may have restrictions on hotlinking or may delete images after a certain amount of time, so it's a good idea to choose a reliable hosting service and periodically check that the image is still accessible. You can also use relative paths to reference images within your own repository, but this requires additional configuration and may not be practical for all use cases.
