How should I organize small practice projects for GitHub?

I'm new to development and trying to upload small projects that I've worked on to my GitHub profile. These projects are not dependent on each other.

My issue is that some of them are small single-file projects. Sort of like mini challenges that I've solved. So I'm thinking of grouping them together under one repo called "Python programming", for example.

Is this a good practice?

If yes, how should I go about it in Git, and how can I still have a README file showing up for each mini project. If no, what would you recommend doing?

I would create individual folder for each mini project. Then, create README.md under each directory (mini project).

Awesome. I didn't know you can have README.md files under each sub-repo folder. Cheers!
