GitHub hygiene (readmes, demos, commit quality)
If you are in a technical field, your GitHub is often more important than your resume. A project without a README file is like a book without a cover. Your README should explain: 1) What is this? 2) Why did I build it? 3) How do you run it? Use clear commit messages like 'Fixed login bug' instead of 'update1' or 'final final.'

- Don't just upload all your code at once. Show that you work on it over time. Use clear messages like "Fixed login bug" instead of "update1" or "final final." This proves you know how to work in a professional environment.
