Hello Community! 👋

✨ Community Highlights

Check out some submissions from our Showcase Your GitHub Profile! 🌟 thread:

🖼️ GitHub Profile Updates

We’ve made a few important updates to GitHub profiles:

• Achievements Feedback: We removed the "Beta" badge and feedback link from the Achievements section on the user profile page as Achievements isn't a "Beta" feature anymore. This link was causing user confusion and getting people to create posts in Community Discussions that were intended to be "feedback" about the user whose profile they were looking at. Although the link is no longer on user profiles, you can still provide feedback in the Profile category at any time! Check out these existing feature requests and comment / upvote / react on the discussions to show your support.

  • Repo based achievements
  • Re-organize position of achievements
  • Remove achievements completely

• GitHub Skyline: We turned the lights off on the Skyline microsite in June 2024. We may explore alternative ways to generate a 3D model of your contribution graph in the future but in the meantime, check out these awesome open-source projects built by members of our community!

  • Skyline Website by @HuakunShen
  • Skyline Repo by @kamermans
  • Skyline Repo by @avikalpg

• Starring Repositories: Following an incident on April 24th, we made the decision to remove starring repositories as a way to get contributions in contribution graphs. Unfortunately our investigation found this feature has recently started impacting our platform's availability, and implementing a safer version of it that behaves consistently for all users is surprisingly nuanced and difficult. If you have any additional thoughts or comments about this, please leave them in this discussion.

🟩 Contribution Graphs

Speaking of contribution graphs, here are some great answers to commonly asked questions:

• @AndreaGriffiths11 explains how colors of contribution graphs are determined

• Wondering why your commits aren't showing? @davevad93 has provided many detailed solutions in these discussions

• Thanks @aaarajuan for this cool tip on how to add this type of contribution graph to your profile's README!
  

As you all continue to learn and grow in your coding journeys, thanks for being a part of the GitHub Community!
