Profile README

Stasis supports a special profile README that appears at the top of your profile page — similar to GitHub's profile README.

Setting Up Your Profile README

  1. Create a new repository with the same name as your username (e.g., johndoe/johndoe)
  2. Add a README.md file to it
  3. The content of that README will appear on your profile page
# Create the profile repo
mkdir johndoe
cd johndoe
git init
cat > README.md << 'EOF'
# Hi, I'm John 👋

git add README.md
git commit -m "Add profile README"
git remote add origin http://localhost/johndoe/johndoe.git
git push -u origin main

Once you push, visit your profile page (click your username) to see it.

Contribution Graph

Your profile page shows a contribution graph — a heatmap of your commit activity over the past year.

How It Works

  • Each square represents a day
  • Darker squares mean more commits
  • The graph pulls from all repositories you've contributed to
  • It uses the email addresses linked to your account

Linking Your Git Email

If your commits aren't showing up on your graph, your git email might not match your Stasis email. To fix this:

  1. Go to Settings → General
  2. Scroll to "Linked Commit Emails"
  3. Add the email you use in git
# Check your git email
git config user.email

You can add multiple email addresses if you use different ones for different projects.

You can add links to your other profiles (GitHub, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) that appear on your profile page.

See Social Links for details.

Click on any username in Stasis to see their profile. You'll see:

  • Their name and bio

  • Their public repositories
  • Their social links
  • Their profile README (if they have one)
