Body

Neither my github profile (kdelint, created years ago) or my repository (IsogenicZ, created 6 days ago) can be found in github search, and are also not indexed by google it seems.

Edit: google searches now do find this discussion when searching for kdelint or IsogenicZ (within an hour of posting!) but still not my profile or the repository...

Hey @kdelint

Your profile is already showing up, the repo still doesn't show up but I think it hasn't given enough time to be indexed there in searches.

I saw that your repo is a fork, forks are not indexed in the fork user's search

Thanks SilasRodrigues19! I hope Google will index my profile in the future, just to make this repo (and future ones) easy to find. If I google a colleagues username it does show up, with the available repositories (searching for github + repository name also works), that's all the visibility I would like :)...

You can improve your repo description, include many topics that make sense and make a very detailed README.md, this will help a lot in Google indexing.

I saw that your repo doesn't have any topics and the README file could have more details.

Here is a really cool example of a template for creating the README:

Thanks for the suggestions, will implement when I have time! The day before yesterday google could find my profile, but today not anymore, this discussion is also sometimes found but then lost, probably indexing issues that could be Github or Google.
