Git Users: Make Your Skills and Contributions Verifiable

Leveraging Git for Transparent Contribution Tracking and Acknowledgments

In the crowded IT landscape, showcasing your skills and standing out can be challenging. Your CV is packed with accomplishments, but how do you elevate its credibility? Enter GitHub and git-recognise. Now, every skill and contribution you list is not just a claim but a verified fact. This isn’t about adding flair — it’s about giving your skills the backing they deserve, ensuring your CV is looked at and genuinely considered.

THE CHALLENGE: PROVING YOUR SKILLS

Have you ever questioned if your IT resume does justice to your skills? You’re not alone. We understand that dilemma and are here to shift the narrative from uncertainty to undeniable proof.

THE SOLUTION: GIT RECOGNISE

In a competitive IT field where your skills are your currency, proving their worth is crucial. That’s where git-recognise, an addition to GitHub, steps in. We know developers like you live and breathe on GitHub, so we integrated git-recognise to transform your listed skills into verified assets, making your professional journey and contributions as clear as daylight.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN GIT-RECOGNISE INITIATIVE?

Projects thrive on individuals, and we promote an open, transparent environment for recognising skills and contributions through the git-recognise initiative. It’s not limited to code creators; anyone contributing to projects can be acknowledged.

We summarized the steps according to the project roles:

Project Owner — Recognise Your Team

1) Copy the contributions.yaml to your project’s repository
2) Add contributors and roles/skills following our template
3) Notify teammates about using git-recognise

Project Contributor — Showcase Your Skills

1) Fork the Verifiable Profile Repository
2) Commit and push changes
3) Edit your profile and add projects to profile.yaml when using git-recognise (notify repo owners to add contributions.yaml if they don’t use git-recognise)

USE skillJot TO PROVE YOUR SKILLS & EXPERIENCES

Once you are listed in projects’ repos (and you created the verifiable profile on your side), your skills aren’t just claims; they are verified and easily accessible on skillJot, making proof of your expertise straightforward and credible.
