Question regarding new achievements

[ghost]

I understand that there has been a lot of hype regarding the new achievements.

I also know that there is a public repo showcasing all possible achievements - https://github.com/Schweinepriester/github-profile-achievements

I've already followed the instructions and believe I have fulfilled the requirements to get some of the badges, yet have not received them.

Is there a lagging time for the achievements to be updated? Anyone knows :/

Hi @waikitmun,

Below is a compiled knowledge of what I know, after hours of scouring through discussion forums, and trying to understand how the mechanics work (for some of the achievements at least).

1. YOLO - Merge a PR directly without review (can add a friend as a reviewer). Repo should be public.
2. Pull Shark - Merge at least 2 PRs into a public repo.
3. Galaxy Brain:

• Answer at least 2 discussions.
• Take note, you CANNOT mark your own answers to your own questions.
• They have to be marked by another user. Discussions should be in a public repository.
• Also if you mark answers to your own questions, there could be a bug whereby the achievement won't show despite having >=2 answers marked by other users.
• Reference: I've answered 2 discussions but they don't gave me the Galaxy Brain badge. #18454

4. Also, please provide a couple of hours (or maybe up to a day) for your new achievements to show. If they haven't shown by then, perhaps you did not hit some "hidden" criteria. In most cases, developers seem to get their achievements instantly though.
5. Contact 'Github Support' if you face any issues.

The community can feel free to chime in, and provide their own observations on how the requirements of the new achievements, in case I may have missed some stuff out.

Thanks.

@azamara @fynntang, to get the Galaxy Brain achievement badge, you need to fulfill the following criteria:

Discussions should be in a public repository
Get marked as answers to 2 or more questions
The questions cannot be asked by you. In short, you cannot answer your own questions, those do not count.
In fact, answering your own questions could prevent the achievement from displaying in your profile page.
My advice here is to perhaps scour a few discussion forums, and answer a few questions based on your own knowledge/expertise. Perhaps if someone finds your answer helpful, he/she would mark your answer and thus help you to unlock the badge.
Hope these steps help you in achieving your badge! Good luck :)
