Your public profile#

Your profile at /<handle> shows your avatar, display name, bio and, when set, your company, location and website, followed by your pinned and public repositories. Anyone can view it without signing in. Organizations have profiles at /<handle> too.

Edit your profile#

Open Settings → Profile to edit your display name, bio (up to 500 characters), company, location and website (a full http or https URL). Clearing a field removes it from your profile.

To change your avatar, upload a PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP or AVIF image of up to 1 MiB and 4096 pixels per side. It is cropped to a square; animated images use their first frame. Removing the avatar shows your initials instead.

Pin repositories#

Pinned repositories appear first on your profile, in the order you choose, up to six. Only public repositories are shown to visitors.

Pins are managed with the CLI. Sign in with cafe auth login and, on the consent page, select Also allow editing my public profile and pinned repositories. Then:

cafe profile pin with a new list replaces the old one; with no repositories it clears your pins.

Edit your profile from the CLI#

With the same consent:

Only the fields you pass change; an empty string clears a field.
