A great piece of advice I heard I think from @patio11 is that you should really just host your own resume rather than letting a GitHub/LinkedIn/etc profile be your primary resume.
Why? Because context is powerful. When people are viewing your resume, you want 100% of their focus on you, and you want to present yourself in exactly the way that's best for you.
You don't want to present yourself within the context of another org's branding, site layout, etc, which by definition won't be optimised for you, and also syphons off some of that attention you want focused on you (as the most obvious example, say if the top bar has unread notifications).
The irony is with Github, hosting an HTML resume 'on' Github is possible and really easy already via GH pages. It's what I do :-) https://davnicwil.com/cv/ https://davnicwil.com/cv/
