This is very nice, but it has the same flaw that most of the github résumé generators have: it only lists my own projects, not those from other people or organizations to which I (heavily) contribute, so it doesn't show the repos that get two thirds of all of my patches.
Does the github API not allow to query all the public repos to which I have commit access?
You can't see all repos for which you have commit access. (e.g. if you are in an organization, you have to query the organization to get the fact that you are a contributor)
NOW: it is possible to iterate through all of the repos in Github and build it up, but that's far too much legwork and would need to be run continually.
nor does it show all the work done off github. Work at code.google.com or sourceforge.net or the myriad of other places someone might be doing great work.
Alternatively, an additional section could be "These are the projects I've been working on recently", an aggregate of recent activity. (Commits, pull requests & comments from https://api.github.com/users/your_user_here/events.)
As resumes go, I think what someone is currently or recently working on is especially interesting because you can tell what they are excited about at the moment.
Love the idea! Usually when I send my "resume" to people it's just a short email with a link to github and my blog.
This does in fact look much better than a vanilla github profile. Better to navigate.
But it does feel a bit strange to read text written in the first person about me ... that I didn't write. Although I guess resumes are supposed to be in first person.
This is a nice tool but I don't get the obsession with github. Surely resumes should be about what you worked on and how it went rather than where you host it? People use other public repositories a lot, like Google Code. In addition many really good programmers may not be able or willing to work on open source code. I do like the Stack Overflow careers profile though, which allows you to add links to open source work on a few services. Though I get the irony that that site is heavily biased towards people that are active on Stack Overflow.
I've been working on putting my _actual_ resume on Github using Markdown (when finished, I'll have a HTML version up using Markdown and Strapdown.js, too).
I've neglected my resume for a long time and recently felt the need to update it. After considering different options, I thought "Why not just put this thing on Github?" Ultimately, I just wanted something that would withstand the test of multiple document formats over time, and a text file was the best thing I could think of.
This reminds me of something I made for my github page (made long before github pages had an Automatic Page Generator). You can fork it and change the name of the repo to <your username>.github.com to make your own personalised github page quickly.
Hahah, Nice work! i honestly thought it was something like https://github.com/saidinesh5/MyResume ... (hint: the commit messages are more important than the commit diffs :P ) .. i have been quite lazy to update it and correct some design flaws though..
That's a nice idea, but I'm a bit skeptical of your specific implementation. Would you really want to be so honest on your resume as to admit that you added Java to it after cramming for a job interview for 2 days? https://github.com/saidinesh5/MyResume/commit/22e6aca7711491...
Sorry to pick on you, but it was just the first commit message I read, and it stood out as a particularly bad resume bullet point.
Like other people here, I have also created a resume that uses the Github API. It's nothing special, just an example of how easy it is to make something like this. https://github.com/wildlyinaccurate/resume
Weird... every sample link flashes the resume then shows 'ut oh :(' in IE9 and IE10... Odd, since I'm not seeing anything on this that would explain this technical limitation.
Very nice, I was thinking of this in the shower (of course) today. Is there any way to see my contributions to other projects? This is honestly a feature I would pay for.
just filed an issue - but the error message is pretty obnoxious for a catch all- bound to the $(window) error event is a catch all error that blames me for not having enough data (56 public repos not enough?)
This means that anyone who knows this url and decides to look me up will see a message accusing me of being a non-producer if anything goes wrong with the resume

Go to https://api.github.com/users/your_user_here/repos to see what repos are accessible.

For example http://www.ohloh.net/ let's you add any public repo.

I think it should read "I'm a developer with a public repository" and the NaN thing is a bit odd.
(I was just curious what my resume would look like as I don't use github much)

So yes, quite literally, Github is my resume.
