Answer 1

Insert a couple of dashes like this:

-----

And the result will be:

---

If the text on top of the dashes enlarges instead, then move the dashes down 1 line.

Or write <hr> in README.md – Philately

Best practice is just 3 dash. --- – Verboten

Answer 2

You can take the reference from Writing Github README "To create a horizontal rule, use three or more asterisks (***), dashes (---), or underscores (___)."
