Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 36,096 PointsDo every Techdegree project have to be in it's own repository, or can I make them all in one repo?
I have a GitHub account since before with other projects (repos), and now I created one repository that will contain all my Techdegree Full Stack JavaScript projects to keep it neat. Is that OK or will that fail me?

It also shows that you have done more projects than just one. Take a look at peoples profiles on github and see what they do, here is someone that you might know. Take a look at how he has his github set up.

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 36,096 PointsThanks Jacob for your fast reply. I have over 20 repos since before, so that's why I wanted to keep the Techdegree projects together. But guess it might be better for access if every project has it's own repo. I'll keep them separated for now. Thank you! :)

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 36,096 PointsTrue, didn't think of that scenario. Thank you! :)

Treehouse TeacherCaroline Forslund -- yes, please put each project into its own repository. As Jacob Mishkin points out, it's a lot easier to work with projects in separate repositories, and is the professional approach.
It'll also look better when you apply for a job to show multiple repositories, so potential employers can see all the work you've done.
