Instructions

Setup resume.yaml

See the example resume.platf.yaml in the resumes/
directory.

Clone Repo and Install Requirements

The next step is to clone the repository and install the requirements

git clone https://github.com/arashout/ResumeGenerator.git
cd ResumeGenerator
pipenv install

Also note you have to install wkhtmltopdf

Windows

py -m pipenv install
py .\main.py .\resumes\resume.platf.yaml

Using Nix

nix-shell pip-shell.nix
# Inside Nix Shell
virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python3 main.py resumes/resume.platf.yaml -o output/test.pdf

Generate PDF resume from command-line

You can generate your pdf resume by running (inside the cloned repo)

pipenv shell
python3 main.py resume.yaml -o 'path/for/pdf/output'

Optionally you can anonymize your PDF by supplying a second argument

pipenv shell
python3 main.py resume.yaml -o 'path/for/pdf/output' -a 'path/to/anon_data.yaml'

Where anon_data.yaml is a dictionary where the keys are sensitive information
you want to replace and the values are generic text to replace them with
e.g.

    "Arash Outadi": "First Last" 
    "arash.out@gmail.com": "first.last@gmail.com"
    UBC: UA
    "University of British Columbia": "University of Anons"
    London: UKCity
    Vancouver: CADCity
    BC: CADProv
    Ravelin: Fintech Startup
    Andritz: Pulp & Paper
    "Canadian Logistics": "Logistics Company"
