The walkthrough has users install @anthropic-ai/claude-code, clone their profile repository, and paste a prompt that adds a scheduled GitHub Actions workflow and README markers for cards covering stats, languages, repos and skills. The resulting profile cards refresh automatically each day, avoiding the broken third-party stats-card images the post criticizes.", "body_md": "Your GitHub profile is often the first thing a recruiter sees. A clean profile makes a great first impression.\n\nMany profiles use free \"stats card\" images from other websites. These often break and show errors, because those sites get too much traffic.\n\nIn this post, I'll show you how to get a modern profile that **updates itself every day and doesn't break**, using two tools:\n\nHere's how mine looks:\n\nGitHub shows a special README on your profile. It comes from a repository with **the same name as your username**.\n\n`octocat`).\nAlready have one? Skip this step.\n\nYou need [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) installed. Then open a terminal and run:\n\n```\nnpm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code\n```\n\nNow download your profile repository and start Claude Code inside it:\n\n```\ngit clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/YOUR-USERNAME.git\ncd YOUR-USERNAME\nclaude\n```\n\nThe first time, it asks you to sign in with your Claude account.\n\nDon't worry: Claude Code **asks for your permission** before it changes files or runs commands.\n\nCopy this message into Claude Code. Replace the parts in CAPITALS with your own details:\n\n```\nSet up Profilescape (https://github.com/chethandvg/profilescape) on this\nGitHub profile README.\n\n- Add a workflow that runs every day, using chethandvg/profilescape@v1\n  with these cards: hero, socials, stats, 3d, languages, repos, stack\n  (it needs \"contents: write\" permission)\n- Add the Profilescape markers to my README, and let the workflow\n  update it (readme: README.md)\n- My role: YOUR ROLE (for example \"Frontend Developer\")\n- My skills: YOUR TOP 4 SKILLS\n- My LinkedIn: YOUR LINKEDIN URL\n- Use the theme \"aurora\"\n\nShow me the changes before you commit, then push them.\n```\n\nClaude Code creates the files, shows you what changed, and pushes them to GitHub after you say yes.\n\nWant a different look? Try all 14 themes in the [playground](https://chethandvg.github.io/profilescape). You don't need to sign in.\n\nWait about a minute, then open your profile. Your new cards are there! 🎉\n\nAfter that, they **update automatically every day**.\n\nYou can also do it without Claude Code:\n\nDone!\n\nIf you set it up, **post your profile link in the comments**. I'd love to see it!\n\nIf you like Profilescape, a ⭐ on [GitHub](https://github.com/chethandvg/profilescape) helps others find it. Questions or ideas? Leave a comment and I'll help.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/make-your-github-profile-look-great-in-15-minutes-with-claude-code", "canonical_source": "https://dev.to/chethandvg/make-your-github-profile-look-great-in-15-minutes-with-claude-code-7mc", "published_at": "2026-10-07 11:09:46+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-10-07 11:17:27.572525+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["GitHub", "Claude Code", "Anthropic", "Profilescape", "Node.js"], "also_reported_by": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/make-your-github-profile-look-great-in-15-minutes-with-claude-code", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/make-your-github-profile-look-great-in-15-minutes-with-claude-code.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/make-your-github-profile-look-great-in-15-minutes-with-claude-code.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/make-your-github-profile-look-great-in-15-minutes-with-claude-code.jsonld"}}
