CVfy vs GitHub Pages for Developer Portfolios
GitHub Pages is free hosting for a site you build and maintain yourself — HTML, a repo, and setup time. CVfy gives developers a portfolio from their resume with GitHub import and zero code.
Free to publish. PDF & DOCX supported. Private until you publish.
GitHub Pages hosts static sites you build and maintain yourself, which means writing HTML/CSS or wiring up a static-site generator and a repo. CVfy generates a developer portfolio from your resume with terminal and VSCode themes, GitHub import, and a live contribution graph — no code, free at cvfy.dev/yourname. Choose CVfy for speed; GitHub Pages for full control of your own code.

Frequently asked questions
Is CVfy a good GitHub Pages alternative?+
For most developers who want a portfolio fast, yes. CVfy provides developer themes, GitHub import, and a live contribution graph with no code. GitHub Pages is better if you want to own and customize the HTML yourself.
Can I show my repositories like a GitHub Pages site?+
Yes. CVfy imports your repositories with descriptions and languages and embeds a live contribution graph — without you writing or maintaining any code.
Do I lose control compared to coding my own site?+
You trade some control for speed. CVfy is theme-based rather than fully hand-coded, but you skip setup, hosting config, and maintenance. You can connect a custom domain like yourname.dev.
Is CVfy free?+
Yes — publish free at cvfy.dev/yourname. GitHub Pages hosting is also free, but costs your setup and maintenance time.
