How to Use

Requires a LaTeX installation or Overleaf.

If you don't want to use Overleaf, I'd recommend using Docker with VS Code because it's easy to set up. I believe the steps below cover all requirements but please let me know if I missed something.

To create a public repository

• Fork repository on GitHub Website.

OR

• Copy instructions below with a public repository.

To create a private repository

• Download the ZIP file of the code under <> Code on the GitHub website.
• Create a new private repository.
• Follow instructions below to create container for private repository.
• Unzip ZIP file and copy contents to container.

To set up Docker container

• Install Docker.
• Install Docker extension in VS Code.
• Install Remote Development extension in VS Code.
• In VS Code -> Search/Select >Dev Containers: Clone Repository in Container Volume... -> Select Clone a repository from GitHub in a Container Volume.
• You may be required to sign into GitHub with VS Code.
• Select repository -> main.
• If more options are given, you may need to restart as there was most likely a problem pulling .devcontainer files.

Renaming first_last_resume.tex will build the project. A bunch of files will be created including a PDF.

Editing the .tex file will also update the PDF, making it easy to work with.

To update the repository:

If you're using a public repository, be careful about sharing personal information.

git add .

git commit -m "update resume-template"

git push

If you're having problems with authentication, I found GitHub CLI easy to use.

To download the PDF

• In VS Code, right-click the PDF and select Download....

OR

• On GitHub, navigate to the PDF and select Download raw file near the top right of the file preview window.
