I'm looking for a view where I can see quickly which repos I have locally stored in a folder and what each is for. I know I can add details to the README, but the description would be a good place to put a short blurb to remind me of the purpose of each repo without having to drill down into each one. Something similar to what is available on the GitHub website makes sense to me. I'm using GitHub Desktop and haven't seen anything within it, but if another app has this functionality, that could also work.

I'm new, reaaaally new to github, not familiar at all, just created an account (by watching one old youtube tutorial). And this is my first time here too. Also, english isn't my first language, so I'm sorry for any mistakes.
I'm using the desktop GitHub, I'm not using Git right now (but also the tutorial guy wasn't and it worked easily) and pushing my local repositories to my online github, and it worked. There are four repos and all of them are public. Yet, when I go to my username.github.io there is nothing, it doesn't exist, that's one thing to fix.
Do I have to create some file? I don't understand, there are youtube videos that say you have to choose a theme, but it's been updated I guess because the website it's not like that anymore, and it doesn't show me themes or anything like that.
I've seen a lot of youtube videos and done exactly what they have done, i've read the github guidelines but i think they are confusing, but i tried a lot of different things. If it makes any difference, my repositories only have like .html and css files (plus the images, fonts, html and css stuff). I don't know anything other than hmtl and css yet, not even javascript, so that's it.
So I don't know how to proceed, I've extinguished my completly amateur resources by doind this post, and I'm learning by myself so I have no one to help me here. Also, since I've never had any contact with github, im just "github dumb", I don't know how branchs work, I'm sorry, I know what a branch is, but somehow that plataform makes it hard.
Anyway, I want to know why my username.github.io doesn't work...
Any help, please? :')
First, create a github repository of <username>.github.io and put your html/css files there. Then go to the repository settings and find the "pages" settings at the left.
In the source, select "deploy from branch" and select your main branch and select the root directory and click save.
That's it, your repository will be published to github pages and you can see the url at the top of the page.
I have attached a screenshot if it is difficult to follow.
The same information can be found here.
I have it in my head to help people at my company get better by finding a way to highlight and call out good code.
In particular, I'd like to be able to mark a file (not a repository or directory) as having a "gold star" (or another badge) so people browsing our source code who see the badge can see they're looking at a really good implementation they might take inspiration from.
I'm taking inspiration from the code owners feature on GitHub where there's a little padlock icon on a file if it's assigned ownership by the CODEOWNERS file.
Is it possible to do a custom "badge" on GitHub? If so, what's the API?
Browsing the GitHub documentation and searching online, I wasn't able to find anything explaining how to do something like this. Most folks were talking about the little images badges like the code coverage badges people put in their readme files.
Checkout this thread. You can submit feature request to GitLab and GitHub or in case of GitLab code your own feature and submit PR.
Here are some closely related discussions. Probably you have already seen them and are not looking for them but you might use them to get idea of how to create the feature that you want.
The Shields service (at shields.io) provides a way to create custom badges for your projects. These are badges are very common and are frequently used to show status information about the project, or demonstrate tools that were used for the development of your project. (...more)

In a recent publication, I included a link to the GitHub repository for the code.
https://github.com/martinkrz/posepi1
This link is now in the literature, so I cannot easily change it. I'm wondering whether there's some way to have requests to the repo page (I can't find anything on this) be automatically forwarded to the GitHub Page for the project, which is at
https://martinkrz.github.io/posepi1/
Again, I need a redirect by GitHub.com because I'm practically stuck with the https://github.com/martinkrz/posepi1 link in the published literature.
No, this isn't possible. If it were, it wouldn't be possible for anyone to view the repository's overview page anymore, which would make doing common tasks difficult.
You could try updating your repository README to point to the place you'd like people to go, but that's the extent of the changes you can make.
This is not possible. You cannot (and to be honest nobody should) change or create self-executing code on your GitHub repository.
And thus, you cannot redirect users.
But you can put the GitHub Pages link into the description of the repository and/or add it as a link in the README.md
The link could be
Click here to see the code in action!
or something like that
I have heard that, product based companies will look for what we have done outside of projects and also looking for the github profile.
In the meantime, I have created an automation application which addresses the specific requirement (Timesheet) in our organization. So, I thought of uploading this one too.
I have also done the screen cast and uploaded it to YouTube for adding in the profile (Resume).
This exact tool is not useful for all the people , but useful for the people in our organization, in which they can edit/contribute more.
Now I am having the question like, can I upload this kind of the code to GitHub?
Thanks.
Yes, you can.
Code on GitHub does not have to be useful to other people. You can push code there even if it is only useful to you or people in your organization.
You could also use a private repository if you do not want other people to see the code.

How to disable source tab in Google Code? I don't want any random users to look at my code.
Before you say that this can't be done, that Google Code is by default open source. Someone managed to do it, somehow.
Edit: Before you downvote me further, take a look at the link I provided. It's possible to do it, despite whatever you want to say. And I want to know how.
I don't want any random users to look at my code.
You can't prevent people from downloading the source code. Google's SVN repositories are open to anonymous browsing and checkout. For example, in the project you cited (the StackOverflow clone), notice that
svn checkout http://cnprog.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ cnprog-read-only
works just fine for downloading the source.
If you don't want people looking at your source code, don't use a free public-hosting service. Setting up a local svn repository is very easy, in any case: here's how you'd go about setting one up and adding stuff to it.
In your GC page Administer|Tabs then check the hide checkbox next to Source. Your code will still be available via SVN though.
The whole point of Google Code is that it is for open source. That means everyone is allowed to see it. If you don't want people looking at your code, use some closed source hosting site.
You can replace tabs with Wiki pages (for example, to point to your GitHub repository), but you can't prevent access to the Google SVN server.
