GitHub pretty please, give us an option to hide our profile from search engines just like Facebook do.

What is the use-case of this?

  • gabriele  10 years ago

    I have an account that is only for private repos and I don't want that account to appear on search engines for my real name.

    I also have a public account that I use for contributing to public projects so it could also help to avoid duplicate accounts in search results.

    All accounts should be searchable for username/real name with GitHub's search anyway.

      Just curious, why not have just a single account?

      Your private repo's and contributions are not made public, so there's no "risk" involved.
