    Been having a hard time getting google to list the github associated with my blog. Just requesting if we could get a github option in the “schema>presence” settings. Thanks!

    Hi @scamazdid911,

    There’s no GitHub profile supported according to Google’s documentation:
    https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/social-profile-links

    Have you seen it elsewhere?
    I did put some related external links on theseoframework.com for testing, alas it yields no results, at all.

    If you have some social presence fields left-over, and wish to link your GitHub project or account to it, all fields should support that input. Although the LinkedIn input field might do some unwanted cutting (upon save).

    Cheers!

    I re-read your request, and it’s all about linking back and forth between the sites.

    So, if your website and your GitHub pages have close correlation to each-other, do the following:

    1. Go to your GitHub repo and login.
    2. At the top-right you’ll see “Edit”.
    3. Fill in your homepage.
    4. Add a link to your homepage too in the wiki, readme.md, etc.
    5. Go to your blog.
    6. Add link to GitHub repo in your footer, sidebar, homepage, etc.

    That’s it ?? Google should see the linking between the pages in a month or so.

    Cheers!
