About this template

Forge GitHub Showcase CV is built for candidates whose strongest evidence is in code repositories and open-source contributions. The layout gives GitHub links prime placement, then follows with a summary, skills, and a code portfolio section that can highlight repositories, pull requests, and deployed demos. It is a strong choice for bootcamp graduates, self-taught engineers, and students applying to junior software or QA roles.

The structure is streamlined and recruiter-friendly. Standard headings and a clear reading order make the document ATS-friendly, while the slate gray palette keeps it professional across online and print formats. Each project entry can include stack, repository link, feature set, and outcomes, which helps hiring teams quickly understand what you built and why it matters. You also have room for certifications, online courses, and technical communities, so your learning journey appears complete rather than fragmented.

Use this CV to show consistency, collaboration, and shipping habits. Mention stars, forks, contributions, or merged pull requests where relevant, and connect each repository to a business or user problem. The two-page format gives you enough space to present multiple projects without crowding the page. If you need to adapt it for internships, apprenticeships, or first full-time roles, simply reorder the projects and tune the summary. This GitHub-focused resume helps turn public work into a polished professional story.
