The feature is optional and was contributed by the author, who hopes it normalizes accessibility statements as a common practice signaling project maturity. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How do I show an accessibility statement on my GitHub repository's landing page? Add an ACCESSIBILITY.md file to the repository root. GitHub now displays its contents in the same tab component used for the README, License, Code of Conduct, and Security files on the repository overview page. The file is optional and only appears when supplied, so no existing repository behavior changes if you skip it. _Maintainers documenting accessibility practices can find more GitHub platform updates like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Building GitHub’s next chapter in accessibility](https://daily.dev/posts/building-github-s-next-chapter-in-accessibility-ciddqipqb) · GitHub Blog · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Accessibility resources for open source developers](https://daily.dev/posts/accessibility-resources-for-open-source-developers-lsjgz4inw) · All Things Open · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Refreshed repository pull requests page generally available](https://daily.dev/posts/refreshed-repository-pull-requests-page-generally-available-3axrwq0q0) · GitHub Changelog · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [GitHub Code Quality: Organization-level dashboard in public preview](https://daily.dev/posts/github-code-quality-organization-level-dashboard-in-public-preview-gkajqikca) · GitHub Changelog · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#open-source](https://daily.dev/tags/open-source), [#github](https://daily.dev/tags/github), [#accessibility](https://daily.dev/tags/accessibility) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/github-repository-landing-pages-now-show-an-accessibility-tab-if-provided-svxepwofg) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"GitHub repository landing pages now show an accessibility tab, if provided","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/github-repository-landing-pages-now-show-an-accessibility-tab-if-provided-svxepwofg","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/github-repository-landing-pages-now-show-an-accessibility-tab-if-provided-svxepwofg"},"datePublished":"2026-10-02T00:29:29.329Z","dateModified":"2026-10-02T00:29:45.162Z","description":"GitHub repository landing pages now display the contents of an ACCESSIBILITY.md file, if one is supplied, alongside README, License, Code of Conduct, and...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/40421e5fa41320076fd77d1e8ed1e7fa?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/40421e5fa41320076fd77d1e8ed1e7fa?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Eric Bailey","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Eric Bailey","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--r1vwe6z1--/f_auto,q_auto/v1789890198/logos/ericwbailey?_a=BAMAMicg0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/ericwbailey"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/github-repository-landing-pages-now-show-an-accessibility-tab-if-provided-svxepwofg","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":4},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"open-source,github,accessibility","timeRequired":"PT1M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Eric Bailey","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/ericwbailey"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"GitHub repository landing pages now show an accessibility tab, if provided"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/github-repository-landing-pages-now-show-an-accessibility-tab-if-provided-svxepwofg#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How do I show an accessibility statement on my GitHub repository's landing page?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Add an ACCESSIBILITY.md file to the repository root.
