17. Next Steps

Apply these best GitHub practices moving forward and attract the attention of recruiters and senior software engineers.

You'll want to:

  • Commit every week, at minimum
  • Get 2-4 weeks streaks

A personal side-project may grow into something bigger. You can't always predict what will catch the eye of a recruiter or senior software engineer, but when it does, you want to showcase your best work.

Continue building your knowledge of using GitHub and improving your profile, be sure to check out the "GitHub Professional Profile Resources" found in the Classroom folder under Lesson Resources.

Once you've implemented the necessary changes to make your profile more professional, remember to maintain activity by regularly making commits on GitHub.

Good luck!
