  3. Click Save, the Settings tab will refresh, scoll down to the GitHub Pages section to see the link to your GitHub Pages site.

Modifying Other Sections

To modify the other sections of the resume, simply create a new branch and modify the the files found in the /_data folder. For instance, to modify the Projects section, edit the /_data/projects.yml file. After making your changes, create a new pull request with your branch and merge your changes.
