cv.md

Streamline generation of your CV with reproducible configurations

Motive

Many prorietary tools for creating CVs out there feel both restrictive and bloated. Typesetting your own CV through LaTeX offers greater flexibility at the cost of time and complexity. Quickly you become frustrated and wish there was a simpler solution.

Solution

cv.md uses gotenberg underneath to generate your CV in PDF format, ensuring cross-platform compatibility through Docker, and can be managed using Just or devenv.

Installation

Ensure you have docker installed, along with either just or devenv, depending on your preference.

Use commands directly with devenv, or prepend just to use them.

Styling

Modify the output format by editing the settings for gotenberg in devenv.nix or Justfile, based on gotenberg properties.

Customize the CV's style by editing src/styles.css.
