Profile reference

Reference information for your GitHub profile.

Visibility of profile information

The name that is displayed on your profile may also be displayed next to comments you make on private repositories owned by an organization. For more information, see Gerenciar a exibição dos nomes de integrantes na organização.

Links to your social accounts are visible to anyone who can view your profile.

Profile status

Your status will show:

  • On your profile page
  • When people hover over your username or avatar
  • On a team page for a team where you're a team member. For more information, see Sobre equipes.
  • On the organization dashboard in an organization where you're a member. For more information, see Sobre o painel da sua organização.

When you set your status, you can also let people know that you have limited availability.

If you select the "Busy" option, when people @mention your username, assign you an issue or pull request, or request a pull request review from you, a note next to your username will show that you're busy. You will also be excluded from automatic review assignment for pull requests assigned to any teams you belong to. For more information, see Gerenciando configurações de revisão de código para sua equipe.

Screenshot of a draft comment. "@octocat" is written in the text field, and "The Octocat (busy)" is suggested.

Profile picture requirements

When you sign up for an account, GitHub provides you with a randomly generated "identicon". Your identicon generates from a hash of your user ID, so there's no way to control its color or pattern. You can replace your identicon with an image that represents you.

Observação

Your profile picture should be a PNG, JPG, or GIF file, and it must be less than 1 MB in size and smaller than 3000 by 3000 pixels. For the best quality rendering, we recommend keeping the image at about 500 by 500 pixels.

If you use Gravatar, and your Gravatar image is associated with the email you use for GitHub, the image will be shown as your GitHub profile picture by default (rather than an identicon). To change your profile picture, you can either upload a new image to Gravatar, or upload a new image to GitHub and override the Gravatar image.

Profile location and time zone

You can set a location and time zone on your profile to show other people your local time. Your location and time zone will be visible:

  • On your profile page
  • When people hover over your username or avatar

Screenshot of the Octocat profile page emphasizing the location, local time, and relative time fields.

When you view your profile, you will see your location, local time, and your time zone in relation to Universal Time Coordinated. When others view your profile, they will see your location, local time, and the time difference in hours from their own local time.
