For as long as I can remember I never keep my CV neither at hand nor updated.
Every time I do something and I think about adding it to my CV I end up not doing it because is a «hard» process and then when I get down to updating it most of the things I did have already slipped my mind and thus, it ends up being not all that good.
Thanks to this tweet by Gilad I found Boris's markdown CV and thought it was a pretty neat idea and also perhaps a nice way for me to keep my CV upated.
If you can't be bothered much with this and just want to see the output; run:
makeAnd that will generate a cv.pdf file which is the PDF transformation of cv.md.
The Makefile in the repo includes a few targets to help update and check the CV.
It also contains it's own help target which outputs the following:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| all | Removes «cv.html» and «cv.pdf» if found on disk, installs the dependencies and generates a pdf version of the CV. |
| clean | Removes «cv.html» and «cv.pdf» if found on disk |
| dependencies | Installs the npm packages, if wkhtmltopdf is not found it also installs it using homebrew. |
| deploy | Calls «clean» and «html» targets, then generates the pdf file, & creates the docs folder |
| help | Displays this help menu |
| html | Removes «cv.html» and «cv.pdf» if found on disk, install the dependencies and generates an html version of the CV. |
| watch | Same as the «html» target but listens to changes on «cv.md» and hot reloads the changes to http://localhost:4000/cv.html. |
