  • Thank you for posting a working example! At the same time, much of your code does not seem to be relevant to the question you're asking here. Please limit the example to only the code required for your issue to appear. You can have a look at this guide for how to prune your code for this purpose.

Well, you have to change additional information to your wished content: 

\extrainfo{\faGithub\href{https://github.com/}{ name}}% <===============

Please see with the current version of moderncv (version 2.0.0) you can use command 

\social[github]{jdoe}

to add your github informations.

Please see the following MWE

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,sans]{moderncv}

% moderncv themes
\moderncvstyle{classic} % casual, classic, banking, oldstyle and fancy
\moderncvcolor{blue} 

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\usepackage[scale=0.75]{geometry}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{fontawesome}% <=============================================

% personal data
\name{John}{Doe}
\title{Resumé title}
\address{street and number}{postcode city}{country}
\phone[mobile]{+1~(234)~567~890}
\phone[fixed]{+2~(345)~678~901}
\phone[fax]{+3~(456)~789~012}
\email{[email protected]}
\homepage{www.johndoe.com}
\social[linkedin]{john.doe}
\social[twitter]{jdoe}
\social[github]{jdoe} % <===============================================
\extrainfo{\faGithub\href{https://github.com/}{ name}}% <===============
\photo[64pt][0.4pt]{example-image-a}
\quote{Some quote}

\setlength{\footskip}{66pt}


\begin{document}

\makecvtitle

\section{Education}
\cventry{year--year}{Degree}{Institution--3}{City--4}{\textit{Grade}--5}{Description--6}  % arguments 3 to 6 can be left empty
\cventry{year--year}{Degree}{Institution}{City}{\textit{Grade}}{Description}

\section{Master thesis}
\cvitem{title}{\emph{Title}}
\cvitem{supervisors}{Supervisors}
\cvitem{description}{Short thesis abstract}

\end{document}

with the result:

  • Thank you. I found the solution for this but forgot to answer here. But I'm stuck on adding stackoverflow icon with link. Can I add it too? If there is one liner solution you can add here else I'll ask another question for that.

  • @Mensch Is there any recent documentation for the moderncv package? In CTAN only for v0.6 documentation is available.
