GitHub resume
Turn your GitHub into a resume
Your GitHub shows what you can build, but recruiters rarely read code. They read resumes. The gap between the two is where good developers lose interviews.
OneProfile connects to your GitHub, reads your repositories (the languages, the structure, your commits, what the project does), and turns them into resume-ready project descriptions. Then it builds a resume for each job from the projects that fit.
How it works
- 1
Connect GitHub
Connect your GitHub account in one click. OneProfile reads your public repositories only; it asks for no access to private code.
- 2
Pick your best projects
Choose which repositories belong on your resume. It writes up what each one does, the stack, and your part in it.
- 3
Tailor to each job
Paste a job link and get a resume that leads with the projects matching that job's stack, every bullet linked to the repository it came from.
Why proof matters
Interviewers ask about what's on your resume. Every line OneProfile writes keeps a link to the repository, project or role it came from, so there is nothing on the page you can't talk through, and you can show the code if asked.
Forks and contributions to other people's projects are marked as such, so your resume credits your part honestly.
What makes a GitHub project worth putting on a resume
- It solves a real problem, even a small one, rather than following a tutorial step by step.
- It has a clear README: what it does, how to run it, and a screenshot or link if it's live.
- It shows depth in the stack the job asks for.
- It has real users, real data, or a measurable result you can mention.
- Your part is clear. Forks and group projects are fine, as long as you say what you did.
From repository to resume bullet
A repository called "hostel-mess" with a Next.js app and a Postgres database might become:
- "Built a meal ordering and billing app for a 1,200-student hostel in Next.js and PostgreSQL, replacing paper tokens."
- "Added daily usage reports that helped the mess committee cut food waste."
- OneProfile writes these from what's in the repository and your commits, and you can change any word.
Your profile, pinned repositories and README
Recruiters who do open your GitHub look at your profile first. Pin the four to six repositories that best match the jobs you want, write a short profile README saying what you work on, and make sure each pinned project's README explains what it does in the first two lines. A clean profile backs up the resume; a messy one undercuts it.
Questions
Does OneProfile read my code?
It reads public repository information (description, languages, structure, README and your commits) to understand what each project is and your part in it. It never shares it.
Can I use private repositories?
Not through GitHub: OneProfile reads public repositories only. For private or work projects, add them to your profile by hand or from your uploaded resume.
What if I'm not a developer?
You can build your profile from an uploaded resume or by typing it in instead. GitHub is optional.
Do recruiters actually look at GitHub?
Many technical recruiters and most engineering managers glance at it, especially for junior roles. What they read first is still your resume, so the resume has to carry the story.
How many projects should go on my resume?
Two to four strong, relevant projects beat a long list. OneProfile picks the ones that fit each job's stack.
