GitHub Portfolio Toolkit

What it is

Step-by-step toolkit for curating a recruiter-ready GitHub: profile README, three pinned public projects, clean repo naming, and the six-section README map every project should follow. Includes a quality checklist.

In plain terms

This guide shows you how to organize and clean up your GitHub profile for job applications. You can follow the quality checklist and project outline to present your best work clearly to recruiters.

Why I recommend it

Three well-documented projects beat ten messy ones. Test your profile in an incognito window.
