I’m still in my learning phase and I make many small projects as I learn. Is putting all of them on Github a good idea, if I want to put it on my resume in the future, or would having too many repositories on Github a bad thing?

    Repeating what others have said, and adding a bit:

    • it’s fine to have a bunch of repositories.
    • “pin” the ones you would most like to talk about in a job interview
    • “archive” projects that you’re completely done with
    • be aware that pinned repositories and whichever repository has the most recent activity is probably the ones that I - an interviewer - will pick to ask questions about.

      Do I archive every small project that I’m done with?
      What would you do if I archived the repositories with the most recent activity?

        Just archive projects that you don’t want to talk about. That’s pretty much all “archive” is for. It’s a message to the world “I don’t use this anymore. Don’t ask me about it.”
