I built a terminal-style GitHub profile generator (animated, free, no install)
Description and use
Termfolio lets users quickly generate a terminal‑style, animated README using SVG, all in the browser, without sending data.
Problem
GitHub profiles often display static badges and stat cards; the author wanted a dynamic terminal‑style README.
Outcome
Termfolio enables users to create a terminal‑style, animated README in about a minute, entirely in the browser, without sending data anywhere.
Workflow
- Open https://termfolio01.netlify.app and enter GitHub username
- Fill in details, choose pixel art and colors, toggle optional cards
- Download each SVG from the SVG file list
- Copy the generated README.md
- Create a public repo named exactly like your username on GitHub
- Upload the SVG files and commit
- Paste the copied README.md into the repo’s README and commit
- Refresh the profile page
Evidence
Termfolio is one HTML file with plain JavaScript. No framework, no build step. The output is pure SVG
Upload the SVG files. Pasting SVG text into GitHub's web editor can corrupt it.
The whole terminal is an SVG shown with an <img> tag. SVG supports animation on its own (SMIL)
