RESME - A Resume Generator

Keep your resume in YAML and output it Org Mode, HTML, and JSON Resume. Org Mode is flexible enough to export to various other formats.

HTML comes with some Europass-inspired CSS, generated by Gemini.

The rendering engine is based on ERB. This simplifies the creation of new output formats (and extending/modifying the YML structure to one’s needs).

Add this line to your application’s Gemfile:

gem 'resme'

And then execute:

bundle

Or install it yourself as:

gem install resme

Start with:

resme init

which generates a YML template for your resume in the current directory. Comments in the YML file should help you fill the various entries. Notice that most entries are optional and you can remove sections which are not relevant for your resume.

You can now generate a resume using one of the existing formats:

resme --format org --build resume.yml

If you are not satisfied with the provided templates, you can write your own (see below).

Full syntax:

resme --help

Use the --validate option to verify whether your YAML file conforms with the intended syntax.

resme --validate resume.yaml

Enter dates in the resume in one of the following formats:

• Any format accepted by Ruby for a full date (year, month, day)
• YYYY-MM-DD
• YYYY-MM
• YYYY

The third and the forth format allows you to enter “partial” dates (e.g., when the month or the day have been forgotten or are irrelevant).

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
