How the generator works
- Sign in with GitHub. gitshow uses your GitHub identity and an access token you control. Grant the private-repo scope if you want private and org work counted.
- It reads your history. Repositories, commits you authored, PRs you shipped to other projects, reviews, and first-party source — small repos end to end, large ones in prioritized batches.
- It writes the portfolio. A senior-reviewer pass picks the work that signals most and drafts plain-English project write-ups, an about section, and a timeline.
- You publish. Edit any section, pick a template, and it goes live at gitshow.io/{you}.
What you get free
Publishing a hosted portfolio is free. You get the generated site at your gitshow URL, six templates, and a public page you can share anywhere. Free portfolios carry a small “Built with gitshow” badge.
What Pro adds
Pro ($10/month, or $7/month billed annually) adds a custom domain with managed SSL, built-in visitor analytics, an ATS-safe one-page PDF resume, unlimited refreshes as you ship more code, and removes the badge.
Why generated, not hand-built
Most engineers never ship a portfolio because writing about your own work is hard and stale within a quarter. A generator fixes the blank page and the staleness: the draft is done in minutes, and on Pro it refreshes as your GitHub grows. See how gitshow compares to other developer portfolio builders.
