GitHub Endorsement Checklist

Part of professional endorsement requirements is ensuring your GitHub profile is ready for the eyes of recruiters or prospective employers. Here are the sections of your GitHub that need to be ready for review:

‍

Profile Photo and Name
‍

• Profile photo is a clear headshot, bitmoji, or avatar of yourself, not the Github logo
• Name and username displayed is professional and contains a variation of your name
• Relevant profiles, like portfolio or Twitter are linked in bio
• Bio is filled out, and is quick and easy to read
• Personal README is present, and it's clear, easy to read, containing no spelling or grammar errors. Here are some templates and ideas to get you started on a personal readme.

‍

Projects
‍

• Pinned 4-6 non-sprint projects to the top of the page, prioritizing most impressive projects and open-source contributions. Included at least 1 sentence description of each project.
• Pinned projects have a robust and clearly formatted README that includes a project description, its functionality, status, tech/framework used, any bugs, how to use it, and roadmap for future development.

‍

Graph
‍

• Commits graph is green, and has been for 1 week prior to submitting GitHub for review. Additional troubleshooting: changing authors
