resumecard

resumecard is a Jekyll theme for building a personal resume website, built on Bootstrap and other freely available libraries, and designed to run on GitHub Pages.

What is resumecard?

resumecard is an open-source Jekyll theme that turns Markdown content into a responsive static resume site. As input, it takes your personal information written in Markdown, plus configuration values in a _config.yml file; as output, it produces a complete HTML website you can serve locally or deploy to GitHub Pages. The theme is created by user ddbullfrog and available on GitHub with a live demo.

Key Features

• Responsive layout — The theme uses Bootstrap to adapt the resume to desktops, tablets, and mobile phones.
• Google Analytics ready — Add your tracking ID to _config.yml and the theme includes the analytics script automatically.
• Custom domain support — A CNAME file lets you map the site to your own domain name on GitHub Pages.
• Favicon override — Replace avatar.JPG with your own image to customize the browser tab icon.
• Quick local setup — Fork, clone, and run jekyll serve; the site is available at localhost:4000.
• Live demo — See the finished result at https://ddbullfrog.github.io/resumecard.
• MIT license — The code is open source and free to reuse or modify.

Who is it for?

• Job seekers who want an online resume that looks polished without writing HTML or CSS from scratch.
