About your profile

Your profile page tells people the story of your work through the repositories you're interested in, the contributions you've made, and the conversations you've had.

You can add personal information about yourself in your bio, like previous places you've worked, projects you've contributed to, or interests you have that other people may like to know about. For more information, see Personalisieren deines Profils.

Wenn du dem Stammverzeichnis eines öffentlichen Repositorys eine README hinzufügst, deren Namen identisch mit deinem Benutzernamen ist, wird diese automatisch auf deiner Profilseite angezeigt. Du kannst die README deines Profils mit GitHub Flavored Markdown bearbeiten, um einen personalisierten Abschnitt in deinem Profil zu erstellen. Weitere Informationen finden Sie unter Verwalten der Profil-README.

People who visit your profile see a timeline of your contribution activity, like issues and pull requests you've opened, commits you've made, and pull requests you've reviewed. You can choose to display only public contributions or to also include private, anonymized contributions. For more information, see Viewing contributions on your profile or Anzeigen Ihrer privaten Beiträge und Erfolge in Ihrem Profil.
