🚀 How the Resume Generator Works

The Resume Generator uses LaTeX, a powerful typesetting system that ensures your resume looks clean, professional, and well-organized. Here’s how it works:

  1. Edit the Resume.tex file – You can start by modifying the content of your resume using LaTeX. Update your work experience, education, and skills in a single, easy-to-edit file.
  2. Commit the changes – After making edits, commit the changes to your repository. The system will automatically generate a new Resume.pdf.
  3. Download the generated PDF – The tool creates the updated PDF file and makes it available for download in the repository. It’s that simple!

By automating the PDF generation, you never have to worry about formatting issues or manually generating your resume. Each commit creates an updated Resume.pdf reflecting your latest changes.

🛠️ Prerequisites

Before using the Resume Generator, make sure you install pdflatex on your system. pdflatex compiles LaTeX files into PDF format. You can easily install it using a package manager like apt-get on Ubuntu or Homebrew on macOS.

To install pdflatex, run the following command depending on your operating system:

On Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install texlive

On macOS:

brew install --cask mactex

Once pdflatex is installed, you’re ready to start automating your resume creation!

  4. Commit your changes – Once you’ve edited the file, commit your changes to the repository: git add Resume.tex git commit -m "Update resume" git push origin main
  5. Download your updated resume – After pushing your changes, the system will automatically generate a new Resume.pdf. Simply visit the repository to download the latest version!
