After doing an Ironhack bootcamp, I noticed I had some 140 repos and things were a bit messy. I deleted a few with things that never materialized and also archived some. The fact that you cannot put repos in folders is something I have seen raised by many people. It would help a lot. For me, changing some of the repo names helped (and yes, that means you have to make sure you change the names of your local repos accordingly). All the repos linked to the Ironhack bootcamp now start with ironhack, all my projects start with project, all my tutorials start with tutorial, etc. It makes a difference, also for myself when I want to have a look at, for example, the projects I have on GitHub.
The recommendation to put the repos that you want recruiters to see up in the six spots you have in your profile is a good one. Make sure you update these by moving a more recent and interesting project in these six now and then.

Yes, afraid so.
You have to change the repo name (under Settings) and also change the name of the repo locally on your computer. But it is a good way to go through your repos one by one, see if they still have value. I can archive quite a few after I have digested the bootcamp stuff and that will clean up even more.

Good idea. Did you have to rename the repos one by one?
