5 GitHub Repos for creating Resumes

There is a chapter in the book Soft Skills: The software developer's life manual which says a resume is like an advertising brochure. The advertisement is trying to get a hiring manager to fork over $60,000, $80,000, or more to rent a software developer for a year. And most cases our resumes are not up to the mark as we are not professional resume writers.

Why write a resume when we can code it.

I have curated five fantastic Github repositories that can be modified easily to create your Resume/CV.

Hi, In above generators, the information is indeed organized using proper document structure so it should be easy for ATS to analyze them.

Although their readme files doesn't mention anything about ATS friendliness.

The Complete Guide to Putting GitHub on Your Resume

An increasingly common element in software engineering resumes is a GitHub profile. Here's when and how to include one on your resume.

3 years ago   •   8 min read

Software engineering is one of the fastest growing career industries in the job market today. There are hundreds of hungry developers in the job market looking to snatch up high-paying, rewarding jobs. And a ton more resumes that hiring managers need to go through.

An increasingly common element in software engineering resumes is a GitHub profile. To learn more about whether to include one on your resume — and how — we've compiled some of the best tips from industry experts.

What is GitHub?

GitHub is an open source community serving as an online portfolio that helps developers manage, track, and make changes to their code.

Since it's an online public portfolio, it's usually a great place to showcase projects you've worked on, languages you know, and your commitment to software engineering. Similarly, for recruiters, GitHub is also a great place for them to get a sense of whether or not you have the right skills for the role.

Should you include your GitHub profile on your resume?

Short answer: It's optional .

It's not a requirement, and if you don't have a GitHub profile — or it's not very impressive — you don't need to include it. It's totally optional.

Here's a quick checklist to help you decide whether to include a GitHub profile:

• Do you have something you are proud to show off on your GitHub profile? Have you contributed to some popular open source projects, or using programming languages or skills that are specifically required for the job you're applying to?
• Is your GitHub profile active? Is it clear that you've been actively developing? Do not link to an empty/inactive GitHub profile. This does more harm than good since it shows you're not actually an active developer.
• Do your projects on your GitHub profile show your experience? If you're new to programming or you have poor code visible, you should leave it off.

If you answered yes to the questions above, you absolutely should include a link to your GitHub profile since it will strengthen your overall candidacy.

Including a strong GitHub profile lets hiring managers see your commitment to software development, explore your projects, and see interesting projects you've contributed to. This will help set you apart from other engineers who either have a poor GitHub profile.

How to link to your GitHub profile on your resume

Great — so you've decided that you want to list your GitHub profile onto your resume. Let's go through how to do that.

You have a few options:

• Link to your entire GitHub profile in your resume header
• Link to specific projects on GitHub in the projects section of your resume
• List GitHub skills in your skills section
• Mention your GitHub experience in your resume summary or cover letter
• (Additional) Link to your GitHub profile on LinkedIn

Let's go through each of them.

Link to your GitHub profile in your resume header

The easiest option is to link to your entire GitHub profile. This is an excellent option to use, particularly if:

• You have a lot of active projects on your GitHub profile
• You want to show hiring managers your contributions to open-source projects
• You're not using a Projects section, and you don't want to highlight a specific GitHub project
• You want to show hiring managers your breadth of experience, particularly across many programming languages and projects

For this option, add a link to your GitHub profile at the very top of your resume where it can easily be seen by recruiters and employers. This section, the header, is typically reserved for portfolios, LinkedIn profiles, and professional websites - making it the perfect real estate for displaying your coding talent and GitHub profile.

Link to specific projects on GitHub in your resume

If you have a particularly impressive project that's on GitHub, you should create a dedicated projects section on your resume and link to it directly when describing the project. This is a great way to highlight a specific project you developed, plus gives recruiters a quick overview of what they should expect (in terms of programming languages, and description) when they click into your GitHub profile.

If you go for this option, make sure the project you're linking to is:

• Public — make sure hiring managers can access and see your code and activity!
• Not confidential — on the flip side, don't make any projects public that are confidential or you don't have permission for. This could be work projects you've worked on.  

List the name of the project, your specific role, and the date of completion. Underneath, include a link directly to that project and list 2-3 of your key accomplishments .

Or alternatively, here's a text version if you'd like a template to copy into your own resume:

Developer (Your role in the project) - Jan 2021 Resume Worded (Employer Name) Github Link: https://github.com/resumeworded - Technologies used: Python , React.js, Redux, Node.js, PostgreSQL - Designed and implemented movie recommendation engine .... - Bullet point...

Include GitHub in your skills section

If you're applying for a position that involves coding or programming, you should explicitly list those skills on your skills section — this will help you get past Applicant Tracking Systems . If you haven't included a separate projects section, you can include links here to specific projects on GitHub.

Include a subheading like "Technical Skills" or "Programming Languages." List your core competencies and include a link to a specific GitHub project that best demonstrates these skills.

Mention GitHub in your resume summary or cover letter

If you want to spotlight your GitHub expertise front and center, you can mention it in your resume summary . This is only necessary if the job description specifically mentions GitHub, otherwise it may be overkill.

Underneath your contact information but above your work experience, write a brief (3-5 line) resume summary outlining your background, career highlights, and 2-3 key skills.

How to link to your GitHub profile on LinkedIn

Whether or not you're actively job searching, keeping your LinkedIn updated is an excellent way to showcase your professional skills and allow interested recruiters to connect with you.

• Go to the LinkedIn homepage
• Click on 'Me' and select 'View Profile'
• Select 'Contact Info' and click on the Edit button
• Choose 'Add website'
• Type or paste the link to your GitHub profile
• Choose 'Other' in the drop-down menu
• Enter a website title ("GitHub' is fine)
• Click 'Save'

Steps to ensure your GitHub profile is in order

Before you link your GitHub and send it out to recruiters, make sure you’re putting your best foot forward on your profile. Let's go through a few ways you can do that.

Clean up your GitHub before for prospective employers

So, how do you know when your GitHub is ready to be included in your resume? Ask yourself the following questions:

• How is my code quality? Is the naming appropriate, is the code easy to read? Does it follow best practices?
• Does the project have unit or integration tests? If so, is the recruiter or hiring manager aware of this?
• What larger open source projects have you contributed to? Are my pull requests easy to find?
• Do I have a repository with a large number of stars and lots of repositories? How do I respond to issues in pull requests? Are my collaboration skills being well displayed?

Remember, things like followers, number of repositories, and other statistics that have little to do with code quality are not as important to feature on your GitHub profile.

Optimize your resume with Score My Resume

While your GitHub profile is important, your experiences, skills and keywords — and how you present them — are way more important at getting you an interview.

When you describe your resume's bullet points and projects, are they effective at conveying what you accomplished? Are you sure you've covered all red flags a recruiter might have?

An easy way to make sure your resume is effective is to upload it to the tool below — the platform scans your resume for common issues like impact or style, and instantly gives you suggestions on how to improve it.

Create a README for your profile, and your projects

For your overall GitHub profile, create a README which summarizes all that a hiring manager should know about you, and directing them to your best work .

To create a README,  create a repo with the same name as your username, and simply initialize with a README - this will also be useful for including relevant videos or screenshots.  Here's an example of simple README that tells hiring managers about your core skill sets, programming languages and projects:

For your most important projects, you should also make sure you include a README too — this shows hiring managers your ability to document and maintain code, a skill that they expect software engineers to have.

Proper READMEs on your main projects will provide valuable context for what your project does, which code is the most relevant, and how to run and test the code. If it’s a web application project, add a link. Sometimes, a clear description of what your code aims to achieve is more important than the code itself. Need examples? Grab some inspiration for other developer READMEs in creating yours from lists like this and this.

Pin and feature your most important projects on GitHub

Make sure your pinned and featured projects are a reflection of your best work, and pick and choose which projects to feature based upon what’s relevant to the job you’re applying for.

Pin up to six of your best repositories on your profile, as these are likely the only projects recruiters will look at. Add a clear, concise description of each project as well.

If you have some projects on your GitHub profile that are old or don't have activity, you don't need to worry about them being on your profile as long as you make sure not to pin them.

But before you start firing applications out to employers, follow these guidelines to make sure your resume is an optimal length .

Resume example for a software engineer

Curating GitHub Links on Your Resume: Projects, Seniority, and How to Guide

In This Guide:

Why your github portfolio and resume go together like coffee and cream, what types of projects could you include on your github, what your github portfolio signifies about your proficiency level, 7 elements that really make a difference to your github profile, where on your resume can you include details about your github profile, github and cover letters: a strategic decision, key takeaways.

GitHub isn't just the number one platform for software development and version control with Git.

It's not only an open-source community for Computer Science (CS) professionals to manage, track, and make changes to their code.

Describing it as "the leading online environment for developers" is the understatement of the century.

GitHub is an almighty instrument - allowing for an entirely transparent (supposedly) showcase of your coding skills .

That's what gets recruiters: if you've invested the time to structure and organize your GitHub portfolio, you've one foot in the interviewers' doors.

Unlike your one- to two-page resume , GitHub offers 1 GB of free storage to include any code you've ever written.

So, choose your projects wisely, and remember that your portfolio will be assessed by humans (recruiters).

Those HR professionals without technical knowledge may just want to see the end product, rather than the source code.

But let's not get too far ahead of ourselves: here's some food for thought as to why having GitHub on your resume is important.

Some companies use "have GitHub link" as a resume filter. They may even ask for a GitHub profile for professionals with over 10 years of experience .

What is more, in startups and smaller companies your profile would most often be assessed by either the CEO or a technical lead, who will look at the work you've done before anything else.

Including (or not) your GitHub link on your resume is entirely up to you, but we recommend it.

With this guide, we'll obviously try to win you over why it's a good idea to curate your GitHub portfolio on your resume.

So stick around to find out:

Is your resume good enough?

Drop your resume here or choose a file . PDF & DOCX only. Max 2MB file size.

When assessing your IT resume, there are two most common scenarios.

Either, the recruiters would avoid clicking on any external links and skip your GitHub profile.

Or, the hiring managers would glance over your GitHub.

Without drilling too much into your source code, they'd expect to see your end products or projects. Also, if there's something interesting you've been working on.

In that case, your GitHub portfolio can create numerous opportunities during the interview process to stand out .

Here are six of the main reasons why.

1. Your GitHub provides an honest perspective, outside the interview process.

Incorporating your side projects or portfolio adds depth to your application.

Thus, hinting to recruiters at

• the programming languages you're apt at;
• how comfortable you are in using best-industry practices for a wide range of tools;
• the kinds of projects you'd like to work on.

2. Having a well-organized GitHub portfolio shows your competency and the projects you're most proud of.

Think of it as an opportunity to highlight, something that makes you a good candidate, that recruiters need to check out.

Always make sure that your most impressive projects are uploaded on GitHub. Your resume could be used as a map to point out those interesting side projects.

This can also sometimes even help you to skip the code sample request stage during the interview process.

3. GitHub is your alibi: to show that programming isn't just a job for you.

Coding is something you look to excel in - you take every single free moment of your day to become better at it.

4. Speaking of, GitHub is your commitment to the CS industry.

Using it, recruiters can easily understand just how engaged you're in the IT community and what your collaboration skills are like.

5. GitHub highlights skills you can't demonstrate otherwise during the application/ interview process.

• Do you have coding experience on real software projects? What was your role in them?
• What are all the programming languages you can use? How comfortable are you using each one?
• Are you able to use other revision control tools, apart from Git?

6. GitHub rockets your resume to the top of recruiters' "approved" checklists.

Don't include your profile just for the sake of it. Make sure that you've updated your GitHub and have taken the time to organize it.

The best filter you can use is: "What is the most impressive thing I've built in the past six months or so?"

Here are some of the most popular concerns about the types of projects to include on your GitHub portfolio.

How recent should my portfolio of work be?

To start off, recruiters feel that it's nice to see the most recent code you've written. That will ultimately be used to pinpoint your skills and technical capabilities .

Include projects you've done in the past six months to best showcase your breadth of skills.

What if I have just one big project complete on my GitHub?

Even though it may be just one project, recruiters would much rather see something complete from beginning to end (hinting at an array of soft skills you have), instead of many incomplete, sloppy projects.

What matters the most is the code quality and the role you've had in the whole project: how much have you written yourself?

"What types of projects can I include with no experience?"

Entry-level professionals (or those with no experience ) could use their class projects as inspiration to build something new on their own.

For example, unit testing and continuous integration (CI) into a pipeline can show recruiters how you're able to handle day-to-day work.

Documentation for all of your GitHub projects is very important - make sure that it's easy to understand at a glance.

The passion projects vs open-source projects' dilemma: which ones impress recruiters more?

Small side projects show you've related interests outside your job or studies. They serve as excellent talking points during the interviews: with a focus on your ability to narrate your skills.

On the other hand, contributions to open-source projects, widely used by companies, are sometimes better assessed than random, passion projects. For example, if you've fixed an open bug in a popular app - you'd definitely stand out .

Remember that your type of contributions to open-source projects matters.

In some cases, your minor role in a widely used platform may score better than the elaborate work you've done on a niche project that nobody uses.

What projects do other IT professionals tend to include on their GitHub?

Entry-level roles.

Your GitHub is probably the most helpful instrument for landing your first job .

Use your GitHub to show code samples you've written - even if it's just for one or two side/ passion projects.

Recruiters, previewing your GitHub, would look at your technical capabilities, but also your abilities to

• collaborate and communicate;
• accept feedback; and
• meet requirements.

Intermediate professionals

Your GitHub could be great to define how you deal with:

• complex problem-solving and decision-making;
• new languages and programming;
• adapting to the sounds of times.

When you're trying to land a role amidst your career , it's important to remind recruiters that you have the wanted skill set, but at the same time - that you're adaptable to new schools of thought and ways of work.

Your GitHub would thus go to prove that yes, you can teach an old dog new tricks.

Experience professionals

Your GitHub is your footprint on the whole IT community. Within your profile, you've

What is more, your side projects explore new industry challenges, and you still have an insatiable curiosity, even after many years of experience.

We’ve now come to the how-to section of our guide, where we’ll first discuss seven of the most important elements you need to think about while creating your GitHub.

We’ve also included a bonus checklist to help you stay even more focused.

Before we get into the other six elements, here's one thing you need to do asap - clean up your GitHub work area.

That means you need to sort and rank your projects in the way you'd like to have them reviewed by recruiters.

Pin to the top of your GitHub profile, your:

• favorite projects
• popular code folders
• best repositories (repos).

Your GitHub portfolio is your elevator pitch to your potential employers. That's why investing time to make sure it's professional is a definite must.

Say goodbye to your "LoneR@nger*" username and hello to "github.io/Dick Murphy".

An organized GitHub profile also includes codes that are

• well-commented
• easily readable

It's a good idea to include ReadMe notes for different sections of your GitHub portfolio, like your:

• Profile - write something that is similar to your resume summary and briefly outlines your projects. Don't forget to include links to both your LinkedIn profile and resume, if possible.
• Most impressive projects - within the note, describe the nature of the projects: why they exist and how they impact other users. Also, think about the type of testing the project has - whether it’s unit or integration.
• Open-source contributions - be honest about your role in the big picture of things. What did you actually do as part of the whole project?

Code Quality

As mentioned in the previous part of this guide, your code quality is what matters the most to recruiters.

They don't care if you have an infinite amount of repos with half-finished coursework and random, off-script projects.

Your one high-quality project (which took the desirable amount of time and is relatively completed) would help you catch hiring managers’ eyes.

Checklist: Determining your code quality:

But what if you happen to have one high-quality app and many different projects you think would be impressive?

Think about the role and company you're interviewing for.

Recruiters are always looking for candidates with problem-solving and accountability soft skills . At the same time, organizations want to hire candidates with the same professional interests as the rest of the team.

This one is pretty obvious, but to have a complete GitHub profile, you need to get stars.

Ask developers you've worked with before to give you recommendations .

This in fact would show your wider impact on the GitHub community and how you work within a team environment.

Job alignment

The information on your GitHub portfolio, professional resume, and the role you're applying for should all align .

It's a good idea to include relevant projects at the top of your profile - so that recruiters could easily find them.

Relevant in this case may mean quality code samples in one of the programming languages that are a high priority in the advert requirements.

As for other side projects, that may showcase extra technical and soft skills , you can create a sub-folder, specially curated for the hiring managers.

Storytelling

If recruiters are to dive deep into your GitHub portfolio, what story would they find?

Use your profile as a storytelling instrument to win them over.

Whether it's to show how far you've come as a professional to land this particular job.

Or, perhaps, your diverse GitHub portfolio hints that you're a jack of all trades with a broad skill set in different types of projects.

Consider the self-narrative you're trying to sell with your application.

When curating your GitHub portfolio, put yourself in the recruiters' shoes to take into account the types of questions they may have about your work.

Start simple with:

• What was the project scope?
• Why did you build this project the way you did?
• If you could change something about the code right now, what would it be?
• What would you do to make it even better?

If you can find a way to integrate the answers to all or some of these in your GitHub, you'd surely make interviewers' lives way easier. As a bonus, you'd be highlighting even further your presentation skills.

Checklist: Five easy steps on how to curate your GitHub portfolio

This one is the most obvious choice, but make sure you’ve included a link to your GitHub profile within your resume header .

It’s often that recruiters print our resumes and if the formatting is as a hyperlink - it may be lost.

Instead of including the long link, make it simple, yet professional with this format:

“github.io/FirstName-LastName”

Alternatively, you could also use a link shortener.

The projects section of your resume allows recruiters a more in-depth dive into how you define your professional success.

That's why you should choose projects that:

Apart from a brief, yet well-written project description, you could also include a link to the relevant GitHub page that features the given project.

This would definitely save some time for the hiring managers, who are assessing your resume.

• • Currently, it has received +5K star reviews
• • Which of your achievements match the job you’re applying to?

While including a hyperlink within your resume summary might not be the best idea (as some recruiters tend to assess printed resumes) and pasting the full link may hurt your Applicant Tracker Systems (ATS) Score, there is a subtle way of mentioning your GitHub portfolio.

Select one (or two) of your most prominent projects and include a call to action, for those interested in finding out more.

For 99% of your work projects, you’ve probably signed some form of an NDA - meaning you can’t just copy-paste the code on your GitHub.

What you should do instead is to use the knowledge you’ve attained to build and test something, entirely on your own.

That particular repo could demonstrate even further your hunger for knowledge within the experience section of your resume.

• • Integrating 25+ simulations within the design process: built from scratch an open-source mechanical synthesis system simulation, that is currently available to the GitHub community

Entry-level professionals - this resume section may be the best shot you have to demonstrate the sort of side projects you’ve done, all thanks to your higher degree and education .

Again, don’t just copy-paste the work you’ve done for your coursework or projects. Rather, use the knowledge you’ve gained as a base to experiment on your own.

• • Used Python programming experience to create a Chat Server using Sockets Programming in Python. Find the full project on my GitHub.

Technical skills

Within your dedicated technical skills section , list all the job-specific technologies you’re apt at.

Don’t forget to add your Git/ GitHub skills to it.

Cover letters serve to support your application in why you're the best candidate for the role.

So, if you happen to have some pretty impressive projects on your GitHub, why not mention them in your cover letter with a "find out more" call to action?

It is a strategic decision, but incorporating in some form your GitHub work may make a memorable impression.

What is more…

…if you're either telling a succinct, structured narrative or focusing on your best technical qualities and soft skills (specifically for roles in IT) in your cover letter, this would certainly intrigue recruiters.

Therefore Github can be considered as a common channel wherein like-minded professionals can collaborate and work on projects at the same time.

What Projects to Add on GitHub

There is no restriction to what you add to your GitHub profile as long as it is in compliance with the community policies and standards.

Focus more on adding projects related to web development that you have worked on or currently working on that may intrigue the recruiters towards your potential.

Create a strong GitHub profile by adding examples of coding projects.

Post your own work to give companies a sense of your skill level and allow other programmers to contribute to the project.

Resume hosting on Github in under one hour - for free

A quick tutorial on how to use Github Pages to create a static website - Free templates included

In this guide, you’ll create your own resume-website in less than five minutes, for free, without having to code. The 2 templates included are CC BY-NC 4.0 licensed, which means you can use them for your portfolio, website and resume!  The end-website and resume will look like this: (with the templates provided)

First step - Setting up a Github account

First of all, you’ll need a Github-account to upload your files. Github is a repository hosting service, which is being used by mostly anyone who works in the Software Industry. You can find loads of amazing software- and even designprojects on Github, where people participate and share their code, design, documents and knowledge. By setting up your account and uploading your first files you’ll probably become familiar with Github really fast, so you can use it for your future projects as well, even though you might be overwhelmed by the ui at first sight. Go to https://github.com and create your free account – if you’re a student, you can even get the free student pack (https://education.github.com/pack), which gives you a bundle of useful products for free, as long as you’re a student.

Second step - customizing your Resume - template and exporting your photo

Open the resume-file in Sketch. Sketch is a professional vector design program, like Illustrator that allows you to create and export design assets fast and pixel-perfect. If you don’t have sketch yet, you can simply download the trial-version at Once you installed it, simply fill in your information that you want your new resume to display. Click on the artboard and export your resume as a PDF: (For convenience, name it resume.pdf)

Next, open the Photo.psd file in Photoshop and double click on the highlighted smart-object layer. Insert a photo of yours in the opened tab and click save (CMD + S). Afterwards, go back to the main photoshop file and save your new picture as photo.png (You might have to overwrite the already existing one).

Third step - uploading your files on Github

Next, log in to your account again and create a repository where you’re going to upload your files. Name your repository like this: your //name.github.io . Congrats – Your first project is online!

After that, click on “Upload files”. By just “drag and dropping” your files, you can transfer your files immediately. Drag all files but the sketch-file into the “upload”-field. If you want to give your “commit” a description, you can do it now. Afterwards, click “commit changes”. Boom! Your site is on the web!

Fourth step - customizing your website

Open on the index.html file and click on the “edit”-pen-symbol in the right corner. We’ll now edit the site to display your profile information.

First, edit the tags in <head>, such as the <title> according to your preference. Next, scroll down to the <body>-section where you’re going to change the header-tags:

Enter your name in <h1>, your short profile-information in <h2> and the links to your social media profiles in the section id=“sm_links”. Feel free to change the social media buttons to your preference – buttons for behance, dribbble and linkedin are also included in the folder.

Lastly, change the href-Parameter for the “resumeButton” to the destination of your resume.pdf – file, so the user of your site can download your resume-file at the click of a button. If you previously saved your pdf-file as resume.pdf, just type in exactly that name.

It should look like this: < a href = “resume.pdf” id = “resumeButton” download >

Click commit changes.

Fifth and final step - Edit your repo settings

Go to the main page of your repository again and click on “Settings”. In the Settings-menu, scroll down to “Github Pages”, click on Source – “none”, choose “Master branch” and save. Voila! Your page is up and running at https://github.com/YOURNAME/yourreponame.github.io .

Optional Step - Get your very own domain for your site

If you have a custom domain, you can simply enter it in the Settings at “Github Pages – Custom Domain”. You can buy your own domain at various name hosting companies for as low as 88 Cents.
