This Tech-Blog is for everyone who’s curious to host their resume for free and with fewer efforts ….

Stay Tight it just required 5 steps to do 👉…

Hosting your resume or portfolio means making it online accessible.

Web hosting makes the files that comprise a website (code, images, etc.) available for viewing online.

A professional portfolio gives employers a chance to see your work before you are hired. This puts you at an advantage over other job applicants who may have education and experience, but no representation of the style and quality of their work

Steps :

1. Get the free template for your portfolio by searching one and download the source code or if you’re good in HTML/CSS you can make it quickly with just one single page no need for many animations and transitions just be simple and it’ll look cool.

2. Now Make the GitHub account it’s free and doesn't require any hands-on.

3. Now as you’ve downloaded the template and made changes plus you’ve your Github account. We need to create a repository in your account. A repository is like a folder in your account where you can upload your code (resume/portfolio) so name a repository like portfolio_[yourname] my looks like protfolio_rohan_pawar this I’ve given.

4. As you’ve created a repo it’s time to push your code to GitHub.
Run the following cmd in the terminal of your resume/portfolio template folder

  • git init to initialize your folder so that it’ll be ready to go to GitHub
  • git remote add upstream [your url from git repo] to initialize it with your empty repo.
  • git add * mark your files add and make it ready to put on the repo.
  • git commit -m “[message for commiting file]” -m means writing some comments while before pushing to repo. Till this point, all changes are in your local repo.
  • git push origin master push changes from local repo to your fork on github.com.

5. Last step go to your GitHub account in your repo check for code pushed from your local machine. now navigate to your Setting section of repo.

Now Navigate to GitHub Pages in the settings section …and change the git hub pages from none to main.

Then change the folder to /root (its default selected).

That’s it we just Deployed the static website/ resume/ portfolio to GitHub now it’s easily accessible to a link created when you save it.
