cv

Fork from markdown-cv

markdown-cv Tired of using LaTeX to make your CV look pretty? Can’t remember how to set margins in your TeX file? Refusing to compromise and “just use Word”?

markdown-cv is a simple template to list all your accomplishments in a readable Markdown file. It uses CSS to style your text into a stylish web page. It can also be printed as PDF.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? Write your CV like this… and use jekyll or github pages to make it look like this..

Usage Edit directly in github the index.md file adding your skills, jobs and education.

To transform your plain text CV into a beautiful looking HTML page and share it you then have two options:

  1. USING GITHUB PAGES TO PUBLISH IT ONLINE Delete the existing gh-pages branch from your fork. It will only contain this webpage. You can either use git or the github web interface Create a new branch called gh-pages (which will then be a copy of master) Head to yourusername.github.io/markdown-cv to see your CV live. Any change you want to make to your CV from then on would have to be done on the gh-pages branch and will be immediately rendered by Github Pages.

  2. BUILD IT LOCALLY install jekyll on your computer. gem install jekyll will do for most users. Clone your fork on your computer Type jekyll serve and you’ll be able to see your CV on your local host (the default address is http://localhost:4000). You can edit the index.md file and see changes live in your browser. How do I print the PDF? Whether you used Github Pages or a local installation of Jekyll, to print a PDF just press Print in your browser. Print specific CSS media queries will take care of the styling.

is this the only style available? The included CSS renders your CV in different styles:

  • kjhealy the original default, inspired by kjhealy’s vita template

  • davewhipp is a tweaked version of kjhealy, with bigger fonts and dates right aligned, authored by David Whipp

To change the default style, one needs to simply change site the variable in the _config.yml file.

Any other styling is possible. More CSS style contributions and forks are welcome!
