# GitHub Profile Image Scraper
## Overview
This Flask web application is a simple tool that allows users to retrieve the profile image of a GitHub user. Users can input a GitHub username, and the application will scrape the user's GitHub page to find and display the profile image.
## Features
- User Input: Users can provide a GitHub username via a form.
- Web Scraping: The application utilizes web scraping techniques to extract the profile image from the specified GitHub user's page.
- Display: The retrieved profile image is displayed on the web page.
## Technologies Used
- Flask: The web framework used for building the application.
- Requests: A library for making HTTP requests to fetch the GitHub user's page.
- Beautiful Soup: A library for pulling data out of HTML, used here for parsing the GitHub user's page.
