Automatically built resume with LaTeX. The structure for sections is defined in resume.cls file. While the content is in resume.tex.

Based on the CV For Freshers template on Overleaf.

• Automatic builds with Github Actions on every push and automatic releases on publishing tags

Use the green "Use this template" button to create a new repository with this repository's files as a template. There are two files only:

• resume.cls: Defines the structure and all the custom commands. No need to modify this.
• resume.tex: This is the file where all your content for the resume goes. Your name, email, links, etc. are defined through commands. Feel free to move things around and change them.

If there is any problem with the format, feel free to open an issue in this repo. It will probably involve a fix in the resume.cls file. Once that gets pushed, you can just copy the new resume.cls file over your existing one.

Install a LaTeX distribution that includes pdflatex.

Use Scoop

scoop install latex

mkdir dist
pdflatex.exe -output-directory dist resume.tex

Use the tianon/latex image.

mkdir dist
docker run --rm -v `pwd`:`pwd` -w `pwd` tianon/latex pdflatex -output-directory dist -interaction errorstopmode -halt-on-error resume.tex

Create new date and displays it according to {shortmonthname}. {year} format

% Default day is 01
\fmtdate{3}{2017}
% Feb. 2017

% Use full date so that format can be changed in future without having to change all dates
\fmtdate[1]{3}{2017}
% Mar. 2017

% Only print year by providing empty month
\fmtdate{}{2017}
% 2017

Instead of commenting out blocks skip content conditionally so that atleast it is checked by latex to be valid.

% Default output is hidden
\draft{Test Content}
%

% Show in output, preferably remove command once you've decided to keep the content
\draft[true]{Test Content}
% Test Content

Also works for blocks of content:

\draft[false]{
\begin{rSection}{Activities} \itemsep -2pt
    \item XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
    \item YYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
    \item ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
\end{rSection}
}
