Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them

1. Adding the wrong GitHub link
   Make sure you are copying your GitHub profile URL, not an individual project link unless that’s what you intend to share.

2. Forgetting to make your GitHub profile public
   If your GitHub profile or repository is private, others won’t be able to access it. Make it public before adding the link.

3. Link not showing in the right section
   If you add the link under “Contact Info,” it won’t appear in the main profile area. Use the “Featured” section for better visibility.

4. Leaving the link title blank
   Without a label or description, people may skip over the link. Use a short, clear title like “See my code on GitHub.”

5. Not updating outdated GitHub usernames
   If you’ve changed your GitHub username, make sure the LinkedIn link is also updated to avoid broken links.
