Add   ScreenShot  screenshot png  in the readme markdown as mentioned by many above  Replace screenshot png with the name of the image you uploaded in your repository  But here is a newbie tip when you upload the image  as I made this mistake myself   ensure that your image name does not contain spaces  My original image was saved as  quot Screenshot day month year id png quot   If you don t change the name to something like contentofimage png  it won t appear as an image in your readme file

If you use Markdown  README md    Provided that you have the image in your repo  you can use a relative URL      Alt text   relative path to img jpg raw true  Optional Title     If you need to embed an image that s hosted elsewhere  you can use a full URL    Alt text  http   full path to img jpg  Optional title     GitHub recommend that you use relative links with the  raw true parameter to ensure forked repos point correctly   The raw true parameter is there in order to ensure the image you link to  will be rendered as is  That means that only the image will be linked to  not the whole GitHub interface for that respective file  See this comment for more details   Check out an example  https   raw github com altercation solarized master README md  If you use SVGs then you ll need to set the sanitize attribute to true as well   raw true amp sanitize true   Thanks  EliSherer   Also  the documentation on relative links in README files  https   help github com articles relative-links-in-readmes  And of course the markdown docs  http   daringfireball net projects markdown syntax  Additionally  if you create a new branch screenshots to store the images you can avoid them being in the master working tree  You can then embed them using     Alt text       lt branch name gt  path to image png raw true  Optional Title

First  create a directory folder  in the root of your local repo that will contain the screenshots you want added  Let   s call the name of this directory screenshots  Place the  images  JPEG  PNG  GIF   etc  you want to add into this directory    Android Studio Workspace Screenshot  Secondly  you need to add a link to each image into your README  So  if I have images named 1 ArtistsActivity png and 2 AlbumsActivity png in my screenshots directory  I will add their links like so     lt img src  screenshots 1 ArtistsActivity png  height  400  alt  Screenshot   gt   lt img src    screenshots 2 AlbumsActivity png  height  400  alt  Screenshot   gt    If you want each screenshot on a separate line  write their links on separate lines  However  it   s better if you write all the links in one line  separated by space only  It might actually not look too good but by doing so GitHub automatically arranges them for you   Finally  commit your changes and push it

I googled a few similar questions and did not see any answers with my problem and its quite simple easy solution   Google Cloud Storage - a slightly different approach to images in READMEs  Here goes  like the OP  I wanted an image in my Github README  and  knowing the Markdown syntax for doing so  typed it in     My Image  https   storage cloud google com   MY BUCKET    MY IMAGE    You need to complete the actual substitutions above  e g  MY IMAGE image jpg  for this to work       But  wait   failure--there s no actual rendered photo  And the link is exactly as given by Google Storage          Github camo - Anonymous Images  Github hosts your images anonymously  yay  However  this presents an issue for Google storage assets  You need to get the generated url from your Google Cloud Console    I m sure there s a smoother way  however  simply visit your given URL endpoint and copy the long URL  Details   Instructions   Visit your storage console  https   console cloud google com storage browser   MY BUCKET  project   MY PROJECT  Click on the image you d like to display in Github  this brings up the  Object Details  page  Copy pasta that URL  the one starting with https not gs  into a new browser tab window Copy pasta the new generated URL -- it should be longer -- from your new browser tab window into your Github README file   Hopefully this helps speed up and clarify this issue for anyone else
