GitHub – How to Have a Public Searchable Account

githubgoogle-search

My GitHub account is public: https://github.com/USER. I can see my name even if not connected (active Sign up, Sign in buttons).

However, I cannot find my projects when searching after it (Google, Bing) even if I add github or even if I use my username on the site or even directly on GitHub. What setting should I change?

According to GitHub's robots.txt, the only section Google is allowed to index is the master branch of a project, so your account will only be indexed if you have one of those in your project (and it isn't private).

If you have a master branch then it could just be that Google hasn't gotten to you yet. You can try submitting your URL which might speed things up.
