I am having many repository in my GitHub account but the problem is none of them is getting indexed in search engines.

Please point that what am I doing wrong: is there any special setting for getting indexed in search engines, is there is robot.txt I have to include in my repo?

Ex :

VonC
  • 1,262,500
  • 529
  • 4,410
  • 5,250
Pranay Dutta
  • 2,483
  • 2
  • 30
  • 42

Google might index the main README page, but only GitHub would index the actual code content in its GitHub search.

And even then, only the commits of the master branch are indexed anyway (not the commit messages, not the other branches commits: just master).
See "How to search for a commit message in github?".
