Secondly it validates your pinned repositories on how you use Git- Proper use of version control with Git can show that you are a structured worker and is able to work in development teams. We chose to focus on your pinned repos because you can present certain project as you portfolio for potential employersYou can use GitHub as your resume for job hunting. For developers it is important to code regularly, be able to work in teams, communicate properly and continue with a learning curve. Obviously this is something you can say you are the best in and write it on your resume, but with GitHub you are able to show that you can do this. Which will give you headsup on your next interview.
Unfortunately many recent graduates or job seekers lack a proper GitHub profile. And as Codaisseur teachers can acknowledge, the feedback they get is repetitive. Therefore we developed this tool and provide constructive feedback which is based on various resources accross the internet and uses live data from the GitHub API.
As three graduates of the Codaisseur Academy in Amsterdam we developed this tool from scratch with Rein op ‘t Land - a teacher and developer at Codaisseur - who acted as our Product Owner
