If you are a coding bootcamp student that has been building projects and solving exercises in a private GitLab repository that is controlled by another organization, then you might want to move your work to GitHub to preserve what you have done and learned, and make your work more visible to other developers in the community, and employers.
The GitHub profile is a great way to market yourself as a developer. You can pin repos to the top that you want to highlight to the community.
