CVBuilder

Build a CV from YAML data files.

Terminal Instructions (Linux or Windows Subsystem for Linux)

1. Verify that the shell scripts in scripts are executable.
2. Verify that the shell scripts do not have Windows line endings. Use dos2unix to convert these files if needed.
3. Install perl, pandoc, and tth as necessary.
4. Store your personal data (yml files) in a mydata folder.
5. If you need to make minor modifications to existing templates to suit your needs, consider storing and editing copies in a mytemplates directory. You can then reference your custom template in the command that creates the CV file.
6. If you need to make a completely new and generalizable template, consider saving and committing this .tex file in the templates folder.
7. Run the appropriate shell script and template

./scripts/<your_shell_script.sh> <template_dir>/<your_template.tex> <your_cv_name>

See optional arguments for output and data directory at the top of the .sh scripts.
