I personally disagree with having a Github profile as your portfolio, it should be more of an introduction.

Your personal website/portfolio is a great opportunity to showcase your coding and design skills in practice. As a web developer, it just makes more sense to display your projects and info in code rather than markdown.

This can obviously be a bit tricky for back-end developers but I'd say with much simpler UI they can place more emphasis on their projects rather than design.

I believe it could be somehow replacing the full portfolio for certain people who just want a landing page look like fit in their Github profile page. If design it carefully and properly. But not using the crappy and ugly generators. One day, I will make an example by using my UI design skill.

Given that both GitHub and LinkedIn are Microsoft properties, I believe that there is space for interesting integrations here.

I recently switched to because I accepted that I never get around to it with all the time I spend working on my other projects. And with the ability to pin repo's to my profile, it shows all the info I want anyway.

I have used it as a general introduction not portfolio. I think portfolio deserves a better space.

It depends on what you mean by 'portfolio'.

Plenty of social media accounts have a single 'website' option, and yeah - unless you have your own website, then I think github is what I would be putting in.

That said, making your own website can be good too, though, a bit of work and maybe you have better things to do, maybe you aren't a web developer.

I personally feel that the use case of GitHub Profile is different from Personal Portfolio.

GitHub profile is really helpful to give a brief introduction about yourself as a developer/engineer, whereas a personal portfolio is meant to showcase the projects and experience in a more detailed way.

If you want to develop both, I've developed tools that will make your journey easier.
