Resume-md

This project allows you to write and maintain your resume in markdown. GitHub Actions is used to generate stylized PDF and HTML files based on resume.md and style.css. The stylized files are found as outputs in the Releases section, the HTML file is also deployed as a static website using GitHub Pages.

This project is useful for anyone looking to create a professional-looking resume quickly and easily, and is especially beneficial for those with technical backgrounds who are familiar with markdown. With this project, you can focus on the content of your resume rather than worrying about formatting and deployment.

Usage

GitHub

1. Generate a new project using this repository as a template. Make sure to include all branches!
2. Enable Read/Write Workflow permissions under Settings -> Actions for Pages deployment.
3. Edit the resume.md file with your resume content using Markdown.
4. Commit and push the changes.
5. Wait for the GitHub Actions to run. This will generate the PDF and HTML files and deploy the HTML file as a static website.
6. Access the PDF and HTML in the Releases section.
7. Access your resume as a static website by going to https://<your-github-username>.github.io/<repository-name>.

Local

Resume-md uses nix to manage all dependencies and to produce build outputs. As a result, any machine with nix installed can run a simple build command to produce the stylized resumes.

nix build

This will place the stylized files along side the original markdown file in result/resume/:

 result
└──  resume
    ├──  resume.html
    ├──  resume.md
    └──  resume.pdf

GitHub Pages

GitHub Pages is used to deploy the stylized HTML file as a static site. For this to work, the Workflow Permissions MUST be set to read/write and the repository must be public or the user a pro user. If you forked this repository or didn't copy the branches during generation, you will need to point the pages deployment to the gh-pages branch under the Pages settings.

Customization

You can customize the stylized PDF and HTML output by editing style.css.
