resume.yaml

Write your resume in yaml and display in a nice formated page.

Introduction

https://jsonresume.org/ is a great idea.

Write your resume in a structured format (resume.json) store it in github gist like this (https://gist.github.com/thomasdavis/c9dcfa1b37dec07fb2ee7f36d7278105) And then it can be pretty printer using your github username like (https://registry.jsonresume.org/thomasdavis )

However I prefer to write yaml rather than json.

So this repository has a resume.yaml file with a github action gets transformed to the necesary gist.

How to create your own resume.yaml

• Click the Use this template button on top. To create your own repo
• Create a gist called resume.json in https://gist.github.com/{owner}
• Create a Personal Github token that has just the gist scope. Copy the value you will need it next.
• Go to your repository Settings > Secrets > Add a new secret called TOKEN with the value you created in the previous step.
• Verify the default values are working. Go to: https://registry.jsonresume.com/{owner} and you should see a resume with the deault values.
• Now edit the resume.yaml file with your own data. You can use any editor you prefer or gitpod for user friendlyness: https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/{owner}/resume
• Commit and push your changes.
• Go check GitHub Actions if your modifications passed.
• Now in https://registry.jsonresume.com/{owner} you should see your resume updated.

How does it work?

registry.jsoneresume.com reads a gist named/resume.json and shows a nice template on top of it.

gist/resume.json is generated by github action in this repo actions/workflows/gist.yml

gist.yml transforms resume.yaml to temporary resume.json that is saved in the gist.
