Resume Template

Resume Template Preview

How to Use

Requires a LaTeX installation or Overleaf.

If you don't want to use Overleaf, I'd recommend using Docker with VS Code because it's easy to set up. I believe the steps below cover all requirements but please let me know if I missed something.

To create a public repository

Fork repository on GitHub Website.

Copy instructions below with a public repository.

To create a private repository

Download the ZIP file of the code under <> Code on the GitHub website.
Create a new private repository.
Follow instructions below to create container for private repository.
Unzip ZIP file and copy contents to container.

To set up Docker container

Install Docker.
Install Docker extension in VS Code.
Install Remote Development extension in VS Code.
In VS Code -> Search/Select >Dev Containers: Clone Repository in Container Volume... -> Select Clone a repository from GitHub in a Container Volume.
You may be required to sign into GitHub with VS Code.
Select repository -> main.
If more options are given, you may need to restart as there was most likely a problem pulling .devcontainer files.

Renaming first_last_resume.tex will build the project. A bunch of files will be created including a PDF.

Editing the .tex file will also update the PDF, making it easy to work with.

To update the repository:

If you're using a public repository, be careful about sharing personal information.

git add .

git commit -m "update resume-template"

git push

If you're having problems with authentication, I found GitHub CLI easy to use.

To download the PDF

In VS Code, right-click the PDF and select Download....

On GitHub, navigate to the PDF and select Download raw file near the top right of the file preview window.

To generate a PNG for a one-page resume

pdftoppm ./src/input_file_name.pdf output_file_name -png -singlefile
