yup that link is correct, I experienced the same thing, I even installed Google Search Console and Google Analytics to speed it up, the more links you are posting at every possible social networking sites, your traffic will increase, web crawlers will notice that and that’s it, you will be indexed in short, decentralized links, be active in any forum like this, the more page you have, the greater the possibility and your username must be consistent, for me, I’m using the same username here and at Twitter, the web crawler will notice that too |

Unless users having own website where they have full control over the codebase, GitHub users cannot use Google Search Console to index their GitHub account or profile because users do not have control over GitHub's website internal codes because Google Search Console requires verification through methods such as adding a meta tag to the section of a website, which is not possible on GitHub, But if you have own website, then can index whatever urls or corresponding stuffs you want to index by linking the urls to your website called backlinking(which will index Github stuffs like profile or repository or etc.), same thing happen when share or post links or urls over websites.... |

Issue:Github by default not automatically index your profile by just username, but by using (Github Special repo) when search Simplest:Search your profile using Recommended:Create a Github special repo (if not already) with name same as your username For searching with just your username or name:in special repo Readme, use specific format to write the profile details in order to include the keywords you want to use for searching in order to index your profile when you search using: # (first level header) - whatever keyword you want to search by consider keeping unique(phrase or word) if want at the top without doing anything extra for your account indexing(your name or username or anything)
## (second level header) - title (keyword) for section of the profile
Content for the section (paragraph)
Add as many sections as you want for profile detailsFor maintaining your profile indexing at top in search result:

Hey, very helpful post thank you! 1 - Create a website (GitHub Pages is an easy option). I just set up a quick example here: https://h4tem.github.io/ – I’ll check back in a few days to update on whether this method worked! |

Hey, However, I don't think setting up the GitHub Page alone made it happen. I believe that being active, i.e. like opening issues and interacting with others (just like we're doing here) played a bigger role :) |

When searching use the word "github <YOUR_USERNAME>" |
