Jitin edited this page Aug 20, 2023 · 10 revisions

Once you have forked the repo and modified and deployed your CV, the direct URL to the CV will be something like <username>.github.io/<repo-name>/ but if you want to have a cleaner looking, easy to remember URL, here's what you can do:

Step 1: Register custom domain

Register an easy to remember URL for your CV. Else if you already have a domain for your personal website, maybe you can use a subdomain for your CV (If your website is your-name.com you can use cv.your-name.com for your CV)

Step 2: Add custom domain to your repo

Create a CNAME entry for your repo by modifying the CNAME file in the main branch. This file should only contain the custom domain like cv.your-name.com. Add the URL like this:

Step 3: Publish Changes

Publish these changes and now you can go to cv.your-name.com and it will redirect to your cv.pdf file
