Visibility of profile information
Any details you add to your public profile will be visible to all GitHub users, including in regions where local laws, regulations, or cultural norms may pose risks to expressing your identity. We respect everyone's decision about whether or not to share information about themselves on their GitHub profile.
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 管理组织中成员名称的显示.
你的代词将仅对登录到 GitHub 的用户可见。
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 关于团队.
- On the organization dashboard in an organization where you're a member. For more information, see 关于组织仪表板.
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 管理团队的代码审查设置.
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.
注意
- 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.
- Gravatar profile pictures are not supported with Enterprise Managed Users.
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
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.
Displaying badges on your profile
When you participate in certain programs, GitHub automatically displays a badge on your profile.
| Badge | Program | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Developer Program Member | If you're a registered member of the GitHub Developer Program, building an app with the GitHub API, you'll get a Developer Program Member badge on your profile. For more information on the GitHub Developer Program, see GitHub Developer. | |
| Pro | If you use GitHub Pro you'll get a PRO badge on your profile. For more information about GitHub Pro, see GitHub 的计划. | |
| Security Bug Bounty Hunter | If you helped out hunting down security vulnerabilities, you'll get a Security Bug Bounty Hunter badge on your profile. For more information about the GitHub Security program, see GitHub Security. | |
| GitHub Campus Expert | If you participate in the GitHub Campus Program, you will get a GitHub Campus Expert badge on your profile. For more information about the Campus Experts program, see Campus Experts. | |
| Security advisory credit | If a security advisory you submit to the GitHub Advisory Database is accepted, you'll get a Security advisory credit badge on your profile. For more information about GitHub Security Advisories, see GitHub Security Advisories. |
Earning Achievements
Achievements celebrate specific events and actions that happen on GitHub. They will appear as small badges listed in the sidebar of your profile. Clicking or hovering on an achievement will show a detailed view that hints at how the achievement was earned, with a short description and links to the contributing events. The event links will only be visible to users that have access to the repository or organization that the event took place in. Event links will appear inaccessible to all users without access.
To stop private contributions from counting toward your Achievements, or to turn off Achievements entirely, see 管理专用贡献和成就的可见性设置.
