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.

Staticman - Staticman is a Node.js application that receives user-generated content and uploads it as data files to a GitHub and/or GitLab repository, using Pull Requests.

Staticman

Another possible solution to add dynamic content to a GitHub website is to use staticman. On the opposite of the previous solutions using external databases, staticman creates files in your repository, updating your website statically. It is free and open-source but not as straightforward to implement as disqus. The nice thing is that it will store all your comments in your git repository, so there is no risk of losing them.

This article is part of a series showing you how to quickly and freely build and host your own Jekyll blog on GitHub Pages. This series will also cover more advanced topics like adding a comment system directly in our code using Staticman and adding privacy-friendly but still free analytics using Umami.

I'm late to the game, but I'm surprised that no one has mentioned StaticMan yet:

Just uses Git(Hub) to triage and approve comments for your static sites, like Jekyll.
