GIT-01 — No GitHub link

Short answer

GIT-01 checks, in sectors that write code, whether the CV carries a clickable GitHub address. If the sector profile sets usesCodeRepos to false, no GIT-* rule runs at all.

What it checks

A GitHub username address in the CV text
Whether the address is clickable (with CON-02)
Whether the account exists (GitHub REST)

Why it matters

In technical screening a code sample is the fastest signal. Without one you offer no evidence for your claims — between two equally scored candidates, the one with a portfolio gets the call.

How to fix it

Add a clickable GitHub link. Even an empty profile can be filled quickly with two or three tidy projects.

Frequently asked questions

My GitHub is empty — should I link it?

Fill it first. Two or three real projects with READMEs undo the bad impression quickly.
