How to create a README file inside a subdirectory on GitHub?

Is it possible to create a README file in a subdirectory on GitHub? I only see the Add a README button when I am in the root directory. It is not visible in subdirectories.

Is there any way I can add a README file in a subdirectory and preview it?

To create a readme.md file for your profile in Git hub create a repository with your username and create a readme.md file and then https://rahuldkjain.github.io/gh-profile-readme-generator/ use this link to generate a content and then commit the changes it will reflect in your git hub repo

There is no button to create a README on the GitHub web interface in any folder but the root. If you want to add a README to another folder, you can navigate to that folder and press the "Create new file" button. Just name the file README.md and you'll have the exact same editor available.
