Is there a risk that people still want a very green profile? With private repos you can use a commit bot without getting caught. I think public information should be based on public commits.
- newjersey 10y agoI have a public repo that has bogus commits to make my profile green. The repo is even very helpfully named if you take the two seconds dsto look at just the name. But as others have pointed out, Dropbox wants people to have private repos. Bizdev wins I guess.
- aavotins 10y agoWhy is it a risk? If you're applying for a job and potential employers see your all-green contribution graph, there is a very high chance they'll ask you to elaborate on that. At least now it is possible to actually show metrics for writing code that cannot be published or open sourced. Unfortunately quite a few recruiters care about it(because being a rockstar on github is a trend), but the initial screening process would filter out those with faked commit graphs.
