You have read the open chapters of the GitHub Profile Checklist for Developers checklist. Every chapter it covers is listed above, and an account opens the rest: each check with why it matters, how to apply it and an example, with your progress saved as you tick them off. Early access is open: sign up and your account is active shortly after.

Everything here is free to learn from. A few things, like adding a roadmap, keeping a cheat sheet or asking Tauseef a question, use credits.
