What is GitHub Ranked?

It's an open-source tool that assigns Elo-style ranks to your GitHub profile based on PRs, reviews, issues, and commits, with tiers from Iron to Challenger.

How do I add a GitHub Ranked badge to my profile?

Copy-paste ![Rank](https://github-ranked.vercel.app/api/rank/YOUR_USERNAME) into your README — it auto-generates and updates.

Does GitHub Ranked predict hiring success?

Not directly, but top tiers highlight consistent contributors, giving recruiters a quick skill signal amid resume noise.
