How to add coding projects to Github portfolio?
You can create a repo at https://github.com/simonw/simonw (only using your username twice) and the README.md file in there will be used to populate your profile page.

Should i keep my forked repos after contribution if i want to use github as resume ?
I'd leave the forked repos there, and then use pinned repositories on your profile to highlight the repositories you are most proud of. You can also use a personal README to customize your profile - I have one here for example: https://github.com/simonw

How to Build a Dynamic GitHub Profile with GitHub Actions and PHP
As I was browsing examples for some inspiration, I stumbled upon Simon Willison's version, which features some dynamic content like recent work and blog publications. He explained how he used a combination of GitHub Actions and Python to achieve this in a blog post, and I decided to do something similar with PHP.

Ask HN: What are some tools / libraries you built yourself?
I have 112 mostly-maintained released project listed on https://github.com/simonw/simonw/blob/main/releases.md now - most of which are tools for loading data into SQLite database files (a surprisingly under-served use-case given how ubiquitous SQLite is) and plugins for my https://datasette.io/ project for reading data back out of SQLite again.
I realized a few years ago that SQLite was the perfect tool for doing data analysis at the small-data scale, where small data is less that 10GB which is pretty much everything you might want to analyze - especially for personal projects.
So I've been building tools to fill that niche!

Everyone hand-rolls their own dotfile management system, but YADM already does everything you need:

Dotfiles Matter
I've been working around this using tools built on top of git like [yadm](https://github.com/TheLocehiliosan/yadm) and relying on `ls-files` to list all my tracked dotfiles and their paths.
Still having everything in one place would make things much simpler. Great idea!

System settings that aren’t in System Settings
I wonder if the program i use to manage my dotfiles could help manage your scripts and extend your setup to all your desktops? Its called yadm (https://yadm.io/) it makes it so easy to have a laptop and a desktop or two.

The right way to keep config files synced across devices?
I really like that one but still prefer yadm because you can just edit your files as usual and then yadm add them wherever you are.

Just got a new M2 Pro after my 2016 became outdated. What are your first steps to setting up a new computer?
If you haven’t already, this is the time to install a tool like yadm and get your computer configuration into version control. Your command-line tools can be managed by yadm directly, your system settings can mostly be managed with a yadm bootstrap script that runs things like defaults write, and the software you install can be managed with a Brewfile that the yadm bootstrap script uses to install software with Homebrew. Don’t manually download Xcode, use xcodes to do it.

System 76 Linux script to set up a new PC including the personal profile and prefered software installs
I personally use YADM. It's basically a git repo on my home folder, that only tracks what I explicitly set. And you can setup bootstraps to do what you said, install a bunch of stuff or make custom changes. In it's essence, it's a set of bash/sh files that are executed sequentially when you launch the yadm bootstrap command.
