We are so pleased to introduce the GitHub Social Circle, which lets you see and share who you collaborate with.
For now, it’s only for public (Open Source) projects on GitHub. We’ll be expanding soon…
Larger, closer circles are your tight-knit team, who you worked with the most over the last year. Smaller, distant circles are team members you don’t spend as much time working with.
Surprised by who your closest collaborators are? Want to work more closely with those in your outer circle?
Let them know by sharing and tagging them on your social network.
In recognition of this launch, we are giving away Sema swag.
Here are all of the ways you can get Swag:
