In plain English

GitHub Résumé is a service that automatically generates a résumé-style page from a person's GitHub account activity and repositories. You do not need to fill out a form, the service reads what is already public on GitHub and formats it into something readable at a glance. The service is opt-in: to make your résumé visible, you star this repository, and your page then becomes accessible at a URL containing your GitHub username. It is described as useful for hiring managers or interviewers who want a quick overview of someone's coding activity before a meeting. The README does not provide further detail about the specific data points displayed or how the page is structured.
