Changing your profile picture
Your profile picture helps identify you across GitHub Enterprise Server in pull requests, comments, contributions pages, and graphs.
When you sign up for an account, GitHub Enterprise Server provides you with a randomly generated "identicon". Your identicon generates from a hash of your user ID, so there's no way to control its color or pattern. You can replace your identicon with an image that represents you.
Tip: Your profile picture should be a PNG, JPG, or GIF file under 1 MB in size. For the best quality rendering, we recommend keeping the image at about 500 by 500 pixels.
Setting a profile picture
- In the upper-right corner of any page, click your profile photo, then click Settings.
- Under Profile Picture, click Edit.
- Click Upload a photo....
- Crop your picture. When you're done, click Set new profile picture.
Resetting your profile picture to the identicon
- In the upper-right corner of any page, click your profile photo, then click Settings.
- Under Profile Picture, click Edit.
- To revert to your identicon, click Remove photo. If your email address is associated with a Gravatar, you cannot revert to your identicon. Click Revert to Gravatar instead.
Changing your profile name
You can change the name that is displayed on your profile. This name may also be displayed next to comments you make on private repositories owned by an organization. For more information, see "Managing the display of member names in your organization."
