A developer handle that works everywhere

As a developer, your username shows up in every commit, pull request, package and blog post, and it becomes your GitHub Pages address. It should be clean, professional and the same on GitHub, Dev.to and your personal domain. This developer username generator creates 20 tech-style ideas from your word, and every idea opens a check across GitHub, Dev.to and other platforms, plus the matching domain.

Your GitHub username is part of every repository URL, commit and pull request, and it's the address of your GitHub Pages site. Recruiters, collaborators and open-source maintainers see it constantly. A clean, professional handle that matches your Dev.to, npm and personal domain makes you easy to find and easy to trust.

GitHub and Dev.to username rules

GitHub usernames are up to 39 characters and allow only letters, numbers and single hyphens; they can't start or end with a hyphen. Dev.to usernames allow letters, numbers and underscores. Because the two platforms treat punctuation differently, the safest choice is a handle with letters and numbers only.

Handle patterns developers use

Popular patterns include your name plus a tech word (alexcodes, alexdev, alexlabs), a verb plus your name (buildwithalex, hackalex), or a short brand-like handle. Avoid years and version numbers, which date quickly. Generate a batch, then check each idea on GitHub and Dev.to in one tap.

Get the matching domain

A portfolio at yourname.dev or yourname.com is a great home for projects, a blog and a CV. Use Domain search to check .dev, .com, .io and 100+ other extensions, and register the one that matches your handle.
