I can't find my github account and repositories in google search. I wrote to support and here is an answer.
Thank you for reaching out to GitHub Support. If you find that you are experiencing problems with your GitHub account not appearing in a Google search we would recommend reaching out to Google and submitting your Google profile page to be crawled. This can be done here.

But google search console need to verify ownership.
You need public repos, with commits in the master branch (which is indexed by Google, according to github.com/robots.txt)
And if that fail, especially regarding your GitHub account URL, try and submit it to Google: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/submit-url?pli=1

Thanks in advance
If this page was created newly, it might not show up in the google search result immediately because google has not indexed the page yet.
Apart from this, there are multiple other factors which might be the reason your page is not showing up in the google.

I have a repo with README.md as main page. This repo uses mkdocs for generating static site. Also, added Google Analaytics measurement ID to the mkdocs.yml for tracking the traffic on the static site.
But my current requirement is to track the github pages on repo. I am aware of github insights feature where we can get the metrics. But would need more details for every github page.
Can someone help me with this please?
You already use Google Analytics to track your GitHub Pages website, but you want it to track your repo also, right?
In that case, it is not possible, because differently from your website, even if you do own the repo, you do not own it's page, GitHub does. And you probably added some HTML to track your website, but you can't change your repo's HTML. This was already answered here.
Now, if I misunderstood and what you want is to track your GitHub Pages website, then yes, you can.
I am trying to use the Github BOT to integrate with google chat for sensung notifications on PRs, push etc.
While this may work, it asks me authorization for hangoutschatbot-dev-on-github. Just want to be sure that this is authentic and I can grant access safely.
A quick search on google for it gave this result - https://github.com/hangoutschatbot-dev-on-github
I might be late to answer this but you should do it via google chat -> add people & bots option
search for github
Choose the bot
Follow the steps to add one or more repo there
Avoid any unverified open source code if possible.
I want to remove my GitHub profile and repos therein from being found via Google search. Researching how to do this, I see it comes down to three possible methods:
Adding a robots.txt file
Adding meta tag to prevent indexing
Removing URL via Google Webmasters
To my understanding, methods 1 and 2 above won't work for a GitHub account, but only works if you own the root domain.
For method 3, first you have to verify ownership of the specified URL by one of the following means:
HTML file
HTML tag
Google Analytics
Google Tag Manager
Domain name provider
With any of the verification methods mentioned above, I don't see how GitHub supports any of them.
Given these considerations, any ideas on how I can remove my GitHub profile and repos from Google search results?
As long as I know, you can't hide your github account from google.
I also found this answer explaining the same thing.
Also check the GitHub's robots.txt file for more information
Around 12 hours ago, I tried creating a personal blog using 'beautiful jekyll'. I followed the simplest 3-step method to get a basic blog running however, every time I enter my website link, I get
There isn't a GitHub Pages site here.
If you're trying to publish one, read the full documentation to learn
how to set up GitHub Pages for your repository, organization, or user
account.
There isn't anything that I did different from the tutorial. I want to know does github just takes long to publish the pages or is there some sorcery ?
As I commented:
github.com/nitinrabbit/yourboygorja.github.io would not work, since yourboygorja is not your GitHub username. nitinrabbit is.
So the repo should be called github.com/nitinrabbit/nitinrabbit.github.io
And some content needs to be pushed to it.
You may need to go to the settings>pages>Source>Main (or subfolders) to activate page root. You may find detailed explanations here.
