Do as much work in public on your GitHub as possible. Employers will look at your GitHub, and they like to see the following:

• Active commits

  Lots of green on the profile graph, well distributed over time

• Regular coding

  Pull requests, code review, general competence with git and Github

• Evidence of you using the languages you list on your CV

• A portfolio of projects

  At least some self-organised passion projects you have done outside of class

You don’t have to code every day, but you do have to code regularly. Here are some things to check now:

• Do you have regular commits on GitHub?
• Does your activity reflect the skills and technologies you want to demonstrate to employers?

Contributions

As well as your CYF projects and your passion projects, you can show your passion for development by contributing to an open-source project.
