A curriculum vitae maintained in plain text and rendered to html and pdf using CSS.
For more details see the project page or the blog post on why I switched to markdown for my CV.
To start, simply fork the markdown-cv repo
and then 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- To print a PDF, just press Print. Print and web CSS media queries should take care of the styling.
For the moment, yes. The included CSS renders CV in a style inspired by kjhealy's vita template, but any styling is possible. Contributions and forks are welcome!
