Frequently Asked Questions

What sections should a good README have?
Essential: project name/description, installation, usage examples. Recommended: features, API reference, contributing guidelines, license, badges. Optional: screenshots, changelog, FAQ, acknowledgments.
What Markdown syntax works on GitHub?
GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) supports standard Markdown plus tables, task lists (- [ ]), syntax-highlighted code blocks (```python), autolinked URLs, strikethrough (~~text~~), and emoji shortcodes (:rocket:).
How long should a README be?
Long enough to help users get started, short enough that they'll read it. Most successful open-source READMEs are 200-500 lines. Use a table of contents for longer documents and link to separate docs for detailed guides.
Should I include badges?
Badges (build status, npm version, license) provide quick project health indicators. They're standard for open-source packages. Use shields.io for consistent badge styling.
