How to Generate a Resume from GitHub
This tool automatically generates a shareable project resume from your GitHub profile
I create tech content primarily on YouTube. I write about web development, design and tooling from a solopreneur's perspective. My wife and I are raising four kids, and I enjoy running ultras in my free time.
Solution
Stop sweating a project resume. This tool automatically organizes your GitHub projects into a tight, shareable PDF.

Problem
Why use this? Resumes are terrible for everyone, and a pain to write. This will not replace a comprehensive resume, but it could be used to quickly generate a project-based list of your body of work on GitHub to easily share with a hiring manager before interviewing.
How to Use
I came across this from a post on LinkedIn yesterday, and was impressed at the simplicity and genius of the project.
- Star the repository
- Your resume will be viewable at:
https://resume.github.io/?yourusername
That's it. It took mine a few minutes to become available after starring.
Not Perfect
Of course, this isn't perfect. There's zero control over how it looks and what is listed. But it's not supposed to replace a well documented, concise resume. This is fantastic for organizing your otherwise chaotic GitHub projects.
Hope that's helpful 👋

Come say hey to me over on Twitter, and I hope you have a great one!
