So then you are still missing the point. And so was the original comment you replied to. When people are talking about github as your CV, they don't care that you happened to host your website on ghpages. It's using the code repos themselves. Where you host your website is beside the point.

> It makes perfect sense to have github projects as your portfolio parts and turn it into the 'narrative' so beloved of the original author with a github pages site.

Yes. But again, that's not what's being discussed. You are in fact agreeing with the foundation of the idea.

Basically: GH Pages are merely a way to host your own personal website. The fact that it's also on GH isn't special in anyway, and you could achieve the same thing self-hosting. Remove that from the equation, and merely having GH repos is the issue.

People are saying you need that 'narrative.' How you achieve that is up to you, but relying just on the default GH repos doesn't help.
