Frequently Asked Questions
How do I download the generated README as a .md file?
Click the "⬇ README.md" download button in the top-right of the preview panel, or press Ctrl+S. The file downloads as README.md to your browser's default downloads folder. Copy it to your project root directory and commit it to your GitHub repository.
Can I copy the README markdown instead of downloading?
Yes — click the "⎘ Copy" button (or press Ctrl+Shift+C) to copy the entire raw Markdown to clipboard. Then paste it directly into a GitHub web editor, VS Code, or any text file. The "✅ Copied!" confirmation appears for 2 seconds.
Do I need to install anything to use this README generator?
No — the README generator runs entirely in your browser. No npm install, no downloads, no extensions. Open the URL, fill in your details, and download your README.md. It works on Windows, Mac, Linux, and mobile browsers.
How do I add the downloaded README to my GitHub repository?
Option 1 (web): Go to your GitHub repository, click "Add file → Create new file", name it README.md, paste the copied content, and commit. Option 2 (git): Copy README.md to your project root, then git add README.md && git commit -m "Add README" && git push. Option 3 (VS Code): Open your project, create README.md, paste content, save and commit.
Can I regenerate my README with different settings?
Yes — all changes are live. Switch templates, toggle sections, add/remove badges, change tech stack, or edit any field and the README updates instantly. The download and copy always reflect the current state. You can generate multiple variations and choose the best one.
Does the downloaded README.md work with GitLab and Bitbucket too?
Yes — README.md with standard Markdown renders on GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Gitea, and most other Git platforms. Shields.io badges work universally. The generated Markdown avoids GitHub-specific features that may not render elsewhere. HTML tags used (like <div align="center">) may not render on some platforms — remove them if targeting GitLab specifically.
