The GitHub profile feature just went live for a subset of users. Simply creating a repo named after your username, and clicking share to Profile on the sidebar will create a custom profile that shows up just above your pinned projects.
I am still trying to figure out what to put on mine, but this is what I have so far. I feel like mine is a bit big at the moment, I don't like that my pinned repos end up blow the fold.
updated
I tightened mine up and took inspiration from a few others.

I like the update. I think you could pull some more from the bio on your website over here.
Okay thanks
Here is mine. I know its pretty long and it is a prototype. Any suggestions are welcome.

I know you from the discord server!
Oh cool! I left discord almost completely. I might come back to communities in the future if Discord choses to not such, but I am in the Telegram still.
It is much better and shortened now.

I like the shortened version, I'm going to use the Social section, and tables idea
Thanks! don't forget to credit me though ;p jk
Yikes. Who knows. What a mess. You got your github (microsoft) - and your gitlab for some clients/contract - and your bitbuckets for the other clients... and the private things - and the not private things and the person things... and some old beanstalk things - and a couple random deploybot things - and the work things - and the other work thing that's secret and under another name... so - yeah. Way too much stuff - and also not enough stuff in some cases. Depends who's judging you. PRO TIP: just keep a daily diary - and you can get full green squares ; )
I was mostly discussing the new profile feature, when you have a repo named after you username it can become your profile page now.
I agree though repos everywhere. I tend to like GitHub / GitLab the best. I use Azure DevOps a bit and it feels very corporate red tape, hide a lot of things, and make simple things complicated.
I have my blog backed by git, that's honestly 95% of my green squares. I have some family events that prevent me from getting to it everyday, I am proud that I am able to step away when needed during those times, its not easy for me.
Cool! We didn't see the specifics. Now we'll definitely need to build a funny thing to put there.
I'd suggest reading this post, it talks about the negatives of the graph.
GitHub activity graphs are meaningless

agree 💯 One of the reasons I like DEV is that they have removed a lot of the things that cause those negative feelings. I appreciate that.
Definitely marking 🔖 that one for a read later on.
Worth reading, I fell into that hole for quite some time, and it can be really exhausting and un-healthy.
Absolutely, that's the main reason I'm here, instead of other communities.
Mine is full mostly because of my blog. I also appreciate that I can look at the streaks of white and know that I took a healthy break.
That's amazing. NOT working sometimes - seems like a good way to tell if someone is stable!
Here is my GitHub Profile, there was a recent issue where I lost my older account so that sucked.
Do you have the new profile available?
Create a new repo called

I like the alignment of the squirrel and nut 😃
That's original, you gained a new follower here :)
Cool feature!
My Profile 🙂
That Gif is sooo cool!✨ I want one now.
This is the coolest profile of the lot :)
This definitely takes the cake for the most minimal and aesthetically pleasing profile README that I've come across so far. 👍🤤
Here is my profile page. I did a basic 'About Me' page and will go back to edit later. Thanks for the tip!
Here's mine @lauragift21 :)
Love the centering
