Christophers Curriculum Vitae

This is an effort to keep my CV on GitHub and to host it on GitHub Pages. Both HTML and PDF versions are automatically generated and consistent.

Motivation

GitHub Pages is probably the best place developer could store their CV. Giving a potential employer a link to your CV stored on GitHub shows your intense desire for automation.

The idea behind The Curriculum Vitae Template is to provide anyone with a quick solution for creating and managing CVs (both HTML and PDF versions) with the help of GitHub.

Installation

  1. Create a new repo out of this template.
  2. Clone the newly created repo.
  3. Install project dependencies with npm install.
  4. Run npm run deploy to initialize gh-pages. This is a one time action. Further deployments will be initiated by GitHub Actions on every push to main.

Usage

  1. Start local development server with npm start.
  2. Update contents of src folder to fit your needs. This item is explained below.
  3. Commit and push your changes.
  4. GitHub Actions will automatically build the latest version and deploy it to GitHub Pages.
  5. Open http://your-username.github.io/your-cv-repo.

Update contents

The project uses HandlebarsJS as a template engine.

The main HTML template is located in src/templates/index.html. Metadata for the template could be found in src/metadata/metadata.js.

Don't forget to update src/assets/favicon.ico. You can generate a new favicon out of your photo with icoconvert.com.
