As more and more code and projects are made open-source, 
Github has become the platform where most of them are shared. 
It is possible that your code will not be understood well 
by the world since they may not know how to use it or even understand it. 
The readme file serves to remedy this situation. 
It has been uploaded along with a readme explaining 
what it's for and how you can use it. 
Even video and images can be added to assist readers in navigating 
through the project. For these projects to be included in your resume, 
it is crucial that the readme file is well written. 
Interviewers can visit your project during the interview, 
but may not understand a single line of code. 
By including a readme file, the interviewer will be able to find out 
what the project is for, what programming language was used, 
and how the project is organized. 
In an interview, you can make a great impression by providing a good readme file for your project. 
The benefit of readme files is not only that they are useful now, but also in the future. 
In some cases, companies or teams will ask you to correct a bug even after you have left a project. 
You are unsure where to begin when this happens. 
It is at this point you need a readme file.
