Import Resume from GitHub
Auto-generate a resume skeleton by importing your GitHub profile, repositories, and GitHub Pages site.
Overview
The GitHub Import workflow lets you bootstrap a resume directly from your GitHub presence. It fetches your public profile (name, bio, location, website), your repositories (sorted by stars, with languages and topics), and your GitHub Pages site (username.github.io) if you have one. The result is a ready-to-edit resume skeleton with your contact info, a professional summary, a curated projects section, and a skills section extracted from your programming languages and repo topics. From there you can add work experience, education, and tailor it for specific jobs.
Workflow Steps
1
Enter Username
Go to the GitHub Import page and enter your GitHub username (or paste a full github.com URL). You can also override the email if your GitHub email is private.
Go to Enter Username
2
Preview Resume
The system fetches your GitHub profile, scans your public repositories, and checks for a GitHub Pages site at username.github.io. You see a live preview of the resume skeleton with your profile, projects, and detected skills.
Go to Preview Resume
3
Create Skeleton
Click 'Create Resume from This' to save the skeleton. You're taken to the resume editor where you can review and adjust every field.
Go to Create Skeleton
4
Add Experience & Education
Fill in work experience, education, certifications, and other sections that can't be auto-detected from GitHub. This turns the skeleton into a complete resume.
Go to Add Experience & Education
5
Tailor & Apply
Use the resume for job applications. Tailor it for specific roles using AI, check the ATS score, and export in PDF, DOCX, or other formats.

Tips
Make sure your GitHub profile has a name, bio, and location filled in - these map directly to your resume.
If you have a GitHub Pages site (username.github.io), add a personal bio there - the importer will pick it up.
The importer sorts your repos by stars, so star-worthy projects appear first on your resume.
After importing, immediately add work experience and education - GitHub can't detect those.
Review the auto-detected skills list and remove languages you don't want to be interviewed on.
Use the imported resume as a base, then create tailored copies for each job application.
If your best work is in private repos, manually add those projects after import.
