What is GitHub Profile Roast?
GitHub Profile Roast does exactly what the name says. Enter a GitHub username and an AI looks at the public profile, the repos, the follower count, the bio and the commit habits, then writes a short roast of it. Abandoned side projects and forks with no changes are favourite targets.
It launched on Product Hunt on August 7, 2024 and spread quickly through developer communities, with people sharing their roasts on X, Lobsters and team Slack channels. The roast is available in 17 languages, including English, French, German, Japanese, Hindi, Indonesian and Javanese. The project is open source, and there is a link to permanently opt out and delete any roasts about your account.
What You Can Do
- Roast any public GitHub profile by username
