The git clone URL is incomplete and contains a placeholder. It should include the actual repository name after 'yourusername/'.

Suggested change
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/.git
git clone https://github.com/your-github-username/WiFi_QR_Generator.git

The filename 'WiFi_QR_Generator.py' is inconsistent with the folder structure. Based on the PR description, the actual script name should be 'wifi_qr.py'.

Suggested change
python WiFi_QR_Generator.py
python wifi_qr.py

```

After running the script:

* A message will appear showing the progress
* QR code PNG files will be saved in the same directory
* Each file will be named after the Wi-Fi network (e.g., `MyHomeWiFi.png`)

## Output Format

Each QR code contains Wi-Fi configuration details using the standard format:

```
WIFI:T:WPA;S:SSID;P:PASSWORD;;
```

You can scan this QR code using your phone to connect to the Wi-Fi automatically.

## Notes

* This script uses the `netsh` command, which only works on Windows.
* Administrator permissions may be needed to retrieve some saved Wi-Fi passwords.
* Make sure Python and pip are correctly installed and added to your system PATH.

## Example

If your computer has a saved Wi-Fi network called `OfficeWiFi`, running the script will generate:

```
OfficeWiFi.png
```

You can then open and scan this QR code on your phone to connect without typing the password.
