GitHub shows your repos. OSSfolio shows you.
OSSfolio is a free, open-source platform where every contributor gets a public profile page at ossfolio.me/username — showcasing the full picture of their open-source journey. The PRs you merged into other projects, the issues you filed, the orgs you contributed to, the programs you participated in like GSoC or GSSoC — all in one shareable link.
No manual input. Just sign in with GitHub and your profile is ready.
GitHub profiles are built around repositories — stars, forks, and commit graphs tell only part of the story.
If you've spent months reviewing PRs, triaging issues, contributing to other people's projects, or participating in GSoC/GSSoC — none of that shows up clearly on your GitHub profile. Recruiters miss it. Maintainers miss it. You can't share it.
OSSfolio is built to fix that — for students applying to GSoC, for developers sharing their work with recruiters, and for anyone who wants their contributions to actually be seen.

What you need before starting:
- Node.js 20+
- A free Supabase account
- Git
Steps:
# 1. Fork the repo on GitHub, then clone your fork
git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/ossfolio.git
cd ossfolio
# 2. Install dependencies
npm install
# 3. Copy the environment variables file
cp .env.example .env.localSetting up the database (pick one):
Option A — Supabase Dashboard (recommended for most contributors, no extra tools needed)
- Create a free project at supabase.com
- Go to your project → SQL Editor → New query
- Copy the contents of
supabase/schema.sql→ paste → click Run- All tables and permissions are created instantly
Option B — Supabase CLI (if you prefer local development with Docker)
npm install -g supabase supabase start # starts a local Supabase instance supabase db reset # creates all tables + loads sample data
Finishing up:
Once Supabase is set up, copy your project URL and anon key into .env.local (you'll find them in your Supabase dashboard under Project Settings → API), then:
npm run devOpen http://localhost:3000 and you're in.

OSSfolio is built by contributors, for contributors. That's kind of the whole point.
How to get started:
- Browse open issues — filter by
good first issueif it's your first time - Comment on the issue explaining your approach — in your own words, not AI-generated
- Wait to be assigned, then start working and open a PR
