For the life of me I cannot get my image to appear on my README file

at best all I can do is put a link to the image. I put the image on the same folder as the readme, made a subfolder and tried to pull from there, changed the name of the file name multiple times, converted to JPG, even tried to pull it via issues. None of it worked, help would be much appreciated

Hi there,

It looks like you created a README file, however forgot to set the file extension. If you change the file name to README.md it should work.

Best of luck!

To ensure the README file works correctly, please append the '.md' extension to its name, making it 'README.md'

Make sure your README has the .md extension — GitHub only parses Markdown in .md files (e.g., README.md).

Use the correct relative path to your image. For example, if your image is in the same folder as the README:

Alt text

Alt text

Commit and push both the README file and the image to your repository.

Also, ensure the file name matches exactly, including capitalization, because GitHub is case-sensitive.

With those steps, your image should appear instantly when you view the README in the repository.

good luck 💫
