This repo contains the source I use to automatically generate [my résumé] (http://github.com/masasin/resume) as a webpage and PDF from YAML input.

Samples are in the samples directory. Note that they were automatically generated, as opposed to optimized separately.

It was forked from emichael/resume, which was in turn forked from bamos/cv. I have added the ability to automatically generate PDFs with cover letters, as well as have separate input files.

See the original repo for details about the choices of YAML, LaTeX, and Markdown.

You will need Python 3, git, and LaTeX installed on your computer.

The dependencies are included in requirements.txt and can be installed using pip with pip install -r requirements.txt. I recommend doing this inside a virtualenv.

To run, call generate.py, which will look for YAML files in the input directory.

You can change folders or file naming in config.yaml. The names used in the README are the default values. You can change any of the YAML files in the inputs directory. The image file in img, should you be using one, also needs to change. Finally, take a look at the templates directory to see if you want to edit anything.

The main résumé is in resume.yaml. You can change the order of items in the order section. publications.yaml should contain all the publications you want to show. Finally, businesses.yaml should contain details about prospective employers. Each YAML file contains documentation showing which fields can be used and which are optional.

A cover letter will be automatically generated for each business from templates/latex/letter_body.tex. Don't forget to edit that file. All the resulting PDFs will be named appropriately and stored in the outputs/cover_letters directory.

1. Strings in resume.yaml should be LaTeX (though, the actual LaTeX formatting should be in the left in the templates as much as possible).
2. If you do include any new LaTeX commands, make sure that one of the REPLACEMENTS in generate.py converts them properly.
3. The LaTeX templates use modified Jinja delimiters to avoid overlaps with normal LaTeX. See generate.py for details.
4. LaTeX files are only regenerated when the source changes or when the PDF does not exist.
5. By default, the update date changes based on the time of the latest git commit on the current branch. You can change it in resume.yaml
