Hey @sudaisnadeemhere,
You can get the galaxy brain badge by getting a response marked as answer within a repository discussion.
You used to get it from Community discussions but this is no longer the case due to people making alternative accounts and false posts such as yourself

Hey @Leorev01 , hope you’re doing well!
I wanted to share something with you. I got inspired by a project and tweaked it a bit to create my own portfolio. Since you helped me with yours, I thought I’d share mine too.

I’m actually using Gemini as a kind of digital version of myself. It’s trained on my info, so you can ask it questions about me. You can try it out by cloning my repo and just swapping in your own content. Hope this helps!

Thanks for posting in the GitHub Community, @sudaisnadeemhere - we’re glad you’re here!

Just a quick note: you’re more likely to get a useful response when posting in the applicable category. The Discussions category is specifically for conversations around the GitHub product Discussions. Since your question is about earning badges, it belongs in the Profile category. I’ve gone ahead and moved it there for you.

Also, as an FYI: because of an influx of low-quality or spam posts created only to farm Achievements, we’ve disabled the ability to earn Achievements in our Community. This doesn’t affect badges in other GitHub projects - only here in Community Discussions. You can read more about that decision in our announcement: Achievements will no longer be available in the Community.

Let us know if you have any other questions 🚀

hii @mecodeatlas ,

I’ve recently had 3 of my answers marked as accepted in the GitHub Community forum. However, I haven’t yet received the “Answer” badge, which is normally awarded after the first accepted answer.

@ikrishanaa,
If you're talking about the galaxy brain badge, you cannot get it from community answers anymore, it has to be answers within repositories

@Leorev01 How can this be done from a repository? Could you please share an example of a discussion.

If you go to your repository settings you can allow discussions for a specific repository, when you contribute to a popular project there may be open discussions, if you answer a discussion then you will be closer to getting the galaxy badge

Ahan, got it, thanks.

Hi @ikrishanaa,

That’s a great question! From what the GitHub Community team mentioned earlier, Achievements and badges inside the Community forum have been disabled due to spam and low-quality farming posts. This means even if your answers are marked as accepted, the “Answer” badge (and other similar Community badges) will no longer be awarded here.

The good news is: this change only applies to the Community site. Achievements and badges in GitHub itself (repositories, contributions, etc.) are still active and unaffected.

So your accepted answers are still valuable and visible to the community — they just won’t trigger badge rewards here anymore.

Hope this clears it up 🚀

• In order to get the galaxy brain badge you need to answer as many questions asked in the github community discussions and if atleast 2 of your questions has been accepted as answer by the user who has asked the question you will surely get the badge.
• A quick hack ask two of your friends to post a question answer them and ask them to consider your answer. 😉

So if they would accept this as an answer I would get the badge? hmm
