GitHub Profile

Your GitHub profile is your portfolio, your proof of work, and often the first technical impression a hiring manager gets. This skill turns it into a strategic asset — not a graveyard of half-finished tutorials.

Core Principle

"Show what you build, not what you star." Hiring managers spend 30 seconds on your profile. Every element — README, pinned repos, bio, activity graph — should answer one question: Can this person ship?

The Profile README (username/username repo)

Setup

GitHub renders a special README.md as your profile page if you create a repo that matches your username.

1. Create a new repo named exactly your GitHub username
   → github.com/yourname/yourname
