Creating Custom Templates

1. Template Structure

![header](https://capsule-render.vercel.app/api?type=waving&text={{full_name}})

<div align="center">
  [![Portfolio](https://img.shields.io/badge/Portfolio-000?style=for-the-badge)]({{portfolio_link}})
</div>

## About Me
{{bio}}

## Skills
{{core_skills_badges}}

2. Adding New Variables

# In app.py, extend the variables dictionary:
variables = {
    'full_name': full_name,
    'bio': bio,
    'custom_variable': custom_value,  # Add new variables here
    # ... existing variables
}
