GitHub Score Checker – Grade Any GitHub Profile

Type a GitHub username and calculate its GitHub score in seconds. See stars, forks, repositories and the language split on one screen, and find out where the profile falls short. A free GitHub score checker with no sign-up that runs entirely in your browser.

How do you check a GitHub score?

  1. Enter the username

    Paste a GitHub username or profile link into the box. It works on your own profile and on anyone else's.

  2. Read the score

    The tool reads the profile and its public repositories, grades five subjects and turns them into a single letter.

  3. See the gaps

    The profile health list names each gap in turn: bio, README, licence, descriptions and how recently things were touched.

  4. Share it

    Download your scorecard as a PNG or copy its link. Whoever opens the link sees the same GitHub score.

What is a GitHub score and why does it matter?

A GitHub score reduces a developer's open source trail to a single grade: how many repositories they have opened, how many stars and forks those collected, which languages they work in and how well they keep their projects. This tool reads the same data and turns it into a scorecard — the table of stars, forks and repository counts that is often called a GitHub scoreboard.

For most developers a GitHub profile is a second CV. Hiring teams do look at public repositories, and they care less about star counts than about whether the projects can be understood at all. A pile of repositories with no description, no licence and no commit for years gets in the way of even good code.

The GitHub score checker on this page runs entirely in your browser. The queries go to GitHub over your own connection, nothing is stored on our side and you never have to sign in.

How is the GitHub score calculated?

Five subjects are each scored out of 100 and then averaged by weight. Counts such as stars and forks are read on a logarithmic scale: the tenth star says more than the thousandth.

Subject Weight What it looks at
Popularity 25 The stars the repositories collected and the profile's follower count.
Output 25 The number of repositories that are not forks, meaning the ones actually started here.
Upkeep 20 The share of repositories carrying a description, a licence and topic tags, plus the share updated in the past year.
Reach 15 How many forks the repositories received, which is other people building on this code.
Variety 15 The number of distinct programming languages across the repositories.

Most of the weight sits deliberately on the subjects you control. Popularity depends largely on luck and visibility, while output and upkeep are the direct return on your own work.

Commit count does not go into the GitHub score. Without authentication GitHub does not hand out a reliable commit history: on some profiles the activity feed comes back empty. Rather than show a number that would be wrong, the metric is left out.

GitHub score ranges

Score Grade What it means
90 - 100 S A profile that reached a wide audience and is both productive and well kept. Rare.
80 - 89 A+ A strong open source trail, with a few projects that drew real attention.
70 - 79 A An experienced profile that ships regularly and keeps its projects tidy.
50 - 69 B / B+ The foundation is solid. Adding descriptions, licences and tags lifts the grade quickly.
30 - 49 C / C+ The profile exists but the shop window is missing. Bringing a few projects forward makes a difference.
0 - 29 D A new profile, or one nobody has visited in a long time. A profile README is a good place to start.

How do you strengthen a GitHub profile?

Add a profile README

Create a repository named after your username and put a README in it. It is the first thing a visitor sees, and the fastest win available.

Give every repository one sentence

A repository with no description is an empty line in search results and on your profile. One sentence is enough to say what the project is for.

Pick a licence

Code without a licence is, strictly speaking, code nobody may use. Adding something like MIT takes one click and makes the project usable.

Add topic tags

Topic tags make repositories visible in GitHub search and discovery. The right tag is the cheapest route to new stars.

Pin your best work

You can pin six repositories to your profile. Choose the work you would actually talk about, not the scratch repositories.

Archive what is finished

Archive the repositories you will not touch again. Instead of a pile that looks abandoned, visitors see projects that were closed on purpose.

Key features

No sign-up, nothing stored

No token, no login. It reads public profile data only and keeps none of it.

A single-letter GitHub score

Five subjects become a single grade, and the formula is written out on this page rather than hidden in a black box.

Profile health checklist

It does not just hand out a score: it names exactly what is missing and shows how to fix it.

A card you can share

Download your scorecard as an image you can post, or simply copy its link.

Language split

See how many repositories sit in each language. That is where you find out whether how you describe yourself matches what you actually write.

No server in the way

Every calculation happens in your browser. There is no server sitting in between, so the result lands in a couple of seconds.
