Embedded files

An alternative is to have your pdf displayed on a Github webpage along with other content (check my CV page).

  • Make the static website/repository in Github: username.github.io
  • If you already have a website, create a new static page
  • Place your pdf where you want it to be (also root would do)
  • Embed your pdf file:
<embed src="https://username.github.io/mydoc.pdf" type="application/pdf"/>
