How to share your GitHub profile link

For developers, the GitHub URL is the résumé. Here's the link format, where it belongs, and a Markdown trick that puts your whole online presence into a README in one paste.

Quick answer: Your GitHub profile link is github.com/yourusername. There's no share button to hunt for — the URL is just your username. Keep it saved in Profile Bud and it's one swipe from your clipboard.

Your GitHub URL — the simplest one you own

https://github.com/yourusername — that's it. Case-insensitive, no @, and renaming your account changes it (old links break, so choose a name you'll keep).

Where it earns its keep:

  • Job applications — many forms have a dedicated GitHub field; recruiters click it before your résumé PDF.
  • Profile READMEs elsewhere — dev.to, Stack Overflow, personal sites.
  • Collaboration — “what's your GitHub?” is how open-source conversations start.

The Markdown trick: your whole presence, one paste

Developers don't share one link — they share a set: GitHub, a portfolio, LinkedIn, maybe Mastodon or Bluesky. Profile Bud exports your entire account list as Markdown, ready for any README:

- [GitHub](https://github.com/janedoe)
- [LinkedIn](https://linkedin.com/in/janedoe)
- [Portfolio](https://janedoe.dev)

  1. Add each account in Profile Bud (GitHub is a built-in platform; your site goes in as a custom website).
  2. Tap share and choose Markdown — or define a custom template with [platform_name], [username], and [account_url] to match your README's style exactly.
  3. Paste into your profile README, project docs, or blog. Done — and identical every time.

Prefer structured data? The same list exports as JSON, handy for feeding a personal-site config or a script.

Day-to-day: swipe instead of type

Typing github.com/yourusername is easy until you're doing it on a phone keyboard in a conference hallway. Saved in Profile Bud, your GitHub link is a swipe away — and if the person wants your whole developer footprint, that's one share instead of five copy-pastes.
