Ask HN: Google ignores my repository on GitHub and I do not know what to do

2 points by RussBaz 2y ago ↗ HN

Hi. No matter what I do, I cannot google my GitHub repo for my latest project. It just does not exist in the search results. I can even find myself and other projects I made but not this one.

Does anyone know why it might be happening and what I can do to fix it? Will renaming the repo help? But what name to pick then? I am really not good at SEO.

Here is the direct link to the project: https://github.com/RussBaz/VaporHX

Thanks everyone.

You probably need more inlinks... Like instead of posting a headline and an unclickable link you ought to post this as a "Show HN" or just an ordinary link post.

Googling "cache:..." said, Google doesn't knows about the repo. Noodling around (duckduckgo that uses Bing) found it - so asking Google how to search github repo with google leads to https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/42375 Hopefully this helps.
