I want to have newline instead of blanks.

like this -

Silver Bullet in Issue KILLING. Master Mind to create Issues. My strongest language is Python not English.

I have checked Bitbucket Bio is nowhere related to Github Bio.

How do I create a new line in GitHub bio?

You can see in my bio that I needed a " " and a "‑" to format mine. The long word will pop to the next line. If you have a real short line, you can extend it with a lot of non-breaking spaces, but this probably isn't necessary.

How do you newline in markdown?

In a Markdown file or widget, enter two spaces before the line break to begin a new paragraph, or enter two line breaks consecutively to begin a new paragraph.

What is GitHub profile?

Your profile page tells people the story of your work through the repositories you're interested in, the contributions you've made, and the conversations you've had.

Maybe they don't allow us to do it via the normal way, But It is possible to do of course. We can use the auto newline rule for the words which are too long for appending to the current line, for our need. All we need to do is putting other Unicode Spaces instead of normal space. And normal space between lines, for using newline rule against forbidden newline rule :)

And if you want a free line, because of the character limitations, you can use the longer one;

" " instead of " "      (Try selecting spaces between quotes with your mouse)

like me, my profile: github.com/cosmicog. Also this trick makes me create unnecessary spaces in stackoverflow too, like above, in the quote box :)

I've tried other answers, html ways, but no, they handle html tricks ofc. But I don't think that they may want to block unicode spaces, just for making users hate the designer :)
