my friend and I have been collaborating on many projects on Github which are currently private at the moment. He created those repositories and invited me to them.
My question is that once the repositories come public, will the repository be listed also under my account? (i.e will other people see it when they check out my profile)
No, public repositories will only appear under the owner's profile page. You can, however, use GitHub's pinned repositories feature, which allows you to pin any public repository that you've contributed to to your profile page.

With the advent of Github private pages. I can actually put up my github actions that are run in a private repo. However, the private page can't render the badge which should have access to this private repo.
However, if I click on the image, it takes me to the badge. That's because I'm authenticated in Github and can see everything about the repository. I wonder why the action badge is not showing up.
This is a similar issue than VSCode not able to show the same badge (like your GitHub Page does): see discussion 156091
If the repo is private, you can only view it when logged into GitHub.
I don't think VS Code isn't going to be able to show the badges in this case because we'd also have to send along your GitHub creds when making the request for the badge.
Regarding badges on GitHub pages specifically, there is badges/shields issue 593 requesting support for private github repos
There's two viable options for folks that want to use Shields to get badges for private repos:
Use a self-hosted Shields instance with appropriate GH auth in your configuration.
Use Shields.io and the Endpoint badge with your own custom endpoint that provides the data needed for Shields.io to create and provide the badge.
I want to share my GitHub repository or project with a recruiter, but I can't make my repo public, how can I do it. Like share using a link or something.
You can give direct access to the user in a private repo.
Goto settings of the repo.
Select the Collaborators tab, Then select Add People.Git Add People
I have managed to create a GitHub folder and uploaded my .html files. However, I do not see a publishing link in GitHub pages under settings.
Here is the screenshot of mine. As this website says, there is not even an option to make this repository public. The only available option is to upgrade and pay :(
How can I make this public?
In the GitHub Free plan, GitHub pages are available only for public repositories.
It looks like your repository is private. You could either make it public, or upgrade your plan to GitHub Pro or above.
To make the repository public, scroll down to the bottom of the settings page, and under "Danger Zone", select "Make public".
I am trying to display all of my github repositories so that when an employer enter my profile he can see all my previous projects, including those i was a collaborator in.
I know that there are pinned repositories, but it's limited to only 6 repositories. Is there any way to make all of my repositories be displayed in the same way? or in the same way that my repositories are being displayed on my dashboard?
An alternative would be to use your GitHub Secret Repository. You just need to create a repository using your username including a README.md, and it'll be displayed on your profile page. You can use this to list all the repositories you want.

It's not possible to pin more than 6 repositories or gists to your GitHub profile.
The only thing I can suggest is making a personal website that displays all of your projects in the way that you would like and put links to it in prominent places on your CV/resume and online profiles.
The Github UI/UX has changed entirely just recently. In the old UI of github, you can view your public activities when logged in but in the new UI, I don't seem to find a link where I can click to view my public activities.
But when I am following someone, I can view their public activities (that is fine).
Is there a way in which I can view my public activities (my forks, starred repos, commits etc...) like in the old UI when I am logged in?
Or has Github removed this functionality?
You only have the Overview section now, with dates.
For instance:
https://github.com/VonC?tab=overview&from=2015-12-01&to=2015-12-31
(replace VonC by your GitHub account)
And you need to click on "Show more activity" to see the list.
You still can list the activity events your own user account through the GitHub API.
But regarding the website, Overview is the new Activity feed.
Same problem, I'm using this open-source tool for that:
Source code: https://github.com/caseyscarborough/github-activity
Public instance: http://caseyscarborough.com/github-activity/
Fun fact, 5 years after your problem with Github UI, Github Corp. decided to remove the Activity Feed from their interface..
