GitLab public repositories and profiles don’t show up in Google search results

There is no one's repositories/ profiles show up in Google search results. Is there any way to show my public repos in Google search results.
PS: I have found this https://forum.gitlab.com/t/gitlab-com-free-repositories-dont-show-up-in-google-search-results/3120

This is the official robot.txt used by GitLab, and /profile or ///.git areindeed disallowed.

gitlab-ce issue 24289 is about improving the SEO of GitLab itself.

Each time a new restriction is added to that file (as in gitlab-ce commit d71edf0) this is to prevent sensitive information to be leaked. But that seems to apply to public and private repos alike.
