heads up:

OP has Vaunt.dev in their profile and that property is owned by Kochava Inc. whose website the trustworthy uBlock Origin insists is a nasty place to visit and one should not do so.

Also, from that site:

  Developers can track their progress and showcase their accomplishments, while organizations can cultivate a thriving developer community around their projects. Organizations define how developers are recognized for their contributions.

Vaunt is an initiative of Kochava Studios, the research and development arm of Kochava, Inc. Vaunt helps advance the open-source community by creating a recognition platform. It is used internally on a number of Kochava’s repositories to highlight their engineers. Vaunt leverage existing repository data (i.e git commits, pull request etc..) to recognize contributions from developers. Vaunt is not related to Kochava's enterprise solutions.

My greatest accomplishments on GitHub are my projects that I actively use myself, and which other people are using as well.

The prime example of this is my Pgen project.

https://github.com/ctsrc/Pgen

Pgen is a passphrase generator that uses the EFF wordlists for random passphrases.

A typical passphrase generated with Pgen looks like:

oxford antelope veteran thorn dastardly gem tripod upfront avocado femur moisture sacrifice

Pgen is written in Rust.

Browse my GitHub profile to see some other projects as well, including my “repotools” project which is very small but super useful and I invoke the repotools commands many times every day.

I also have my zshrc on GitHub, the main selling-point of which is the way I have set up my PS1 prompt. It uses different emojis for different machines and adds some extra white space. The emojis are useful because for a long time I sometimes found it difficult to quickly identify which terminal is logged into which host when I have many terminals open some of which are connected to ssh. Having the hostname in the prompt is nice and all but when you have a handful of terminals or more it’s not very distinct. Coloured emojis take small space and make each host distinct. Vertical spacing between each command invocation makes it more comfortable to read scroll back and more quick to scan.
