Make a GitHub profile English-first

Codex reorganized a GitHub profile so English came first while preserving Chinese alongside it.

Done with Codexยท Intermediateยท Oct 2026

What they did
A developer used Codex on a finished GitHub account with 87 public repositories. The agent first took stock of the account, saved copies of the existing content, then rewrote the profile README, repo descriptions, and README links so English appeared before Chinese. It also added clearer maturity labels for the projects.
How it went
The GitHub profile now opens in English, keeps Chinese available, and shows each project's stage more clearly. The visible page does not show the inventory, backup, or verification work, and it does not say how many repositories were updated.
Tips
If your account includes forks or learning resources, keep their original attribution intact before changing descriptions. Ask the agent to pause and show sample edits before it touches anything live.

Try it yourself with Codex

Review my GitHub account [username] and inventory every public repository, including its current description and README. Save backups of the originals to [folder], then draft updates that make the profile, repo descriptions, and README navigation English-first while keeping any existing [language] content alongside it. Before changing anything irreversible, show me a small set of proposed edits for approval. After I approve, apply the changes and verify the final profile and repository pages against GitHub.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
