minima VS pages-gem

I started with Jekyll's default, Minima[1], to get something working right away. But then i tweaked lots of stuff, copying things i liked from other blogs[2], so it no longer resembles that default look.

you could make a _layouts directory in your project root (if you don't have one already) and copy over the minima layouts from the repo to adjust anything you need. Link: https://github.com/jekyll/minima/tree/master/_layouts

If you prefer to use Markdown, jekyll's default theme (example) for newly scaffolded websites is also quite clean.

After that, we need to display the data. Jekyll uses a theme system. By default, the used theme is minima. The theme's files are not generated in the Jekyll projects, but you can override every theme's template by creating a file with the same name in the _layouts folder.

So before doing anything, we need to look at our minima theme repository. Please make sure you look at the branch of your current version. In my case, it is the 2.5 one that is installed (you can have this info in the Gemfile file), so I am looking at the 2.5-stable branch.

It's super easy to publish a static site like the resume with GitHub Pages. Just check out the docs.

GitHub Pages: Host your static websites directly from your GitHub repository.

As per many other comments, it sounds like a static site generator like Hugo (https://gohugo.io/) or Jekyll (https://jekyllrb.com/), hosted on GitHub Pages (https://pages.github.com/) or GitLab Pages (https://about.gitlab.com/stages-devops-lifecycle/pages/), would be a good match. If you set up GitHub Actions or GitLab CI/CD to do the build and deploy (see e.g. https://gohugo.io/hosting-and-deployment/hosting-on-github/), your normal workflow will simply be to edit markdown and do a git push to make your changes live. There are a number of pre-built themes (e.g. https://themes.gohugo.io/) you can use, and these are realtively straightforward to tweak to your requirements.

Ideal for open source projects, docs sites, and portfolios. GitHub Pages

Github Pages: Link to Github Pages

Once you have all the documentation worked out a place to host it will be necessary. Some documentation generation may have ties in with specific hosting sites. Read The Docs' support for Sphinx and other documentation tools is one example. GitHub pages can be useful for GitHub hosted projects as it integrates well with GitHub Actions CI/CD deployments.

If you use GitHub and need to host a static website, consider GitHub Pages. Free for one site Stored on a GitHub public respository Deploy via web interface, or Git 100GB/month free bandwidth

There are plenty of other hosting options you could use instead, such as GitHub Pages.

Functionally github.io just presents whatever you throw into the repository as the root directory of a site, github themselves host a very good, basic outline of how to set up a site on github.io.
