GitHub Profile QR Code Generator

For developers, a GitHub profile often says more than a résumé bullet point. A GitHub QR code on your CV, conference badge, laptop sticker or the closing slide of a talk lets recruiters and fellow engineers jump straight to your repositories. Enter a GitHub username (personal accounts and organisations use the same namespace) and QRPebble builds the github.com link after checking GitHub's naming rules: up to 39 letters, digits or single hyphens, not starting with a hyphen. The SVG download stays sharp on sticker sheets and large slide decks. Pin your best repositories first.

Fill in the form to preview your code.

Static code: the data is encoded directly, so it never expires and is not tracked. Need to change the link after printing or count scans? Create a free dynamic code.

How to make it

  1. Enter your GitHub username or organisation name in the GitHub username field.
  2. Check the preview shows github.com/yourname.
  3. Choose colours; the default black on white suits printed CVs.
  4. Download SVG for slides and stickers, then scan to confirm it opens your profile.

What gets encoded

The payload is https://github.com/<username>, which works for both user and organisation accounts. It opens in the phone's browser or in the GitHub mobile app if one is installed and handles links. A pinned README and pinned repositories are what visitors see first, so they're worth curating before you print. To send people to one repository or a release page, copy that URL and use the URL generator instead.

Where people use it

  • Résumés and CVs for developer roles
  • Conference speaker slides
  • Hackathon badges and laptop stickers
  • Open-source project posters at meetups

Tips before you print

  • Link a specific repository with the URL generator when the talk is about one project.
  • Laptop stickers work well at 3 cm with a white margin, even on dark laptop lids.
  • Renaming your GitHub account breaks old profile links, so regenerate the code if you rename.

FAQ

Does it work for organisations?

Yes. Organisations share the same github.com/<name> format as user accounts.

Can I link a single repository?

Paste the repository URL into the URL QR generator; this form builds profile links.

What happens if I rename my account?

GitHub may redirect the old name for a while, but that isn't guaranteed. Regenerate your code after renaming.
