What are some best practices for presenting a project on GitHub to make it clear, professional, and easy to understand for others?

I'm looking to improve how I structure my repositories, write README files, and organize code or documentation so that other developers can easily follow and contribute. Any tips or good examples would be really appreciated!

To make a GitHub project clear, professional, and easy to understand for others, follow these tips:

1. Organize your repo clearly:

   • Include README.md, LICENSE, .gitignore, CONTRIBUTING.md
   • Use folders like /src for main code, /tests for tests, /docs for extra documentation, /examples for usage demos

2. Write a good README:

   • Explain what the project does and why it matters
   • Add installation steps and usage examples
   • Include tech stack, features, contribution guide, and license info

3. Make it easy to contribute:

   • Add clear setup instructions
   • Use tags like good first issue
   • Provide issue and PR templates
   • Use GitHub Actions for automated testing if possible
