Icons

What is the best website to get icons from? Do you have any suggestions for my profile on what to add or remove?

For me, the best to download:
https://icons8.com.br/icons/set/student

But, if possible, prefer use a Icon Library like Lucide:
https://lucide.dev/icons/

Hi @abdullahazmy ,

If you are talking about icons for the profile README, personally I really like the icons from skillicons.dev I think the rounded edges give them a nice touch visually. The only downside is that it doesn't have as many icons as devicon.dev. There are also badges from Envoy-VC awesome-badges that are pretty cool.

About your profile I think it looks good as it is, maybe you could add an action workflow to make a self-updating README if you like the idea, there are tons of examples you can look at if you search for “self-updating README”; here's an example template with GitHub Actions:
github-activity-readme

You can also make a custom one like I did on my README which updates every time I do any action on GitHub like creating, forking, starring a repo, making a commit or pull request and so on. I made a script in Ruby to fetch my activity data from the GitHub API and then trigger an action workflow that updates the README with my recent activity. You can do the same with other programming languages such as JavaScript or Python.
