Manually Activating GitHub Profile README for Repositories Created Before July 2020

The feature to customize your GitHub profile page, which was a hot topic on Twitter around the summer of 2020, has officially been released before I knew it.

I had been waiting for a long time, wondering when this feature would be enabled for me, thinking "Is it ready yet...? Is it ready yet...?" but it turns out it's already treated as an official release. I wonder when that happened...

• Managing your profile README
  • https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/setting-up-and-managing-your-github-profile/managing-your-profile-readme

However, it seems that those who had already prepared a repository with "their own account name" shortly after it became a hot topic are in a state where the feature is not automatically enabled.

I followed the steps in the manual above to enable the feature myself.

Sharing a "Your Account Name" repository created before July 2020 on your profile

Access your "Your Account Name" repository.
It should look like this, so click "Share to Profile."

That's it.
Finally, this feature is on my GitHub profile too...! Awesome.
