User profile customization via README.md in special repo

I would be nice when a user can customize their profile via a special repos README.md. This feature landed in GitHub some days ago.

This feature would be nice to have, because people can customize their profiles.

See my GitHub profile as example

Solution

Create a repo which has the same name as the username. Display the content of the README.md below user data on the profile page https://<gitlabinstance>/<username>

Implementation

This feature was delivered in 14.5. Documentation is here: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/profile/#add-details-to-your-profile-with-a-readme
