In practice

Fork this project and name it resume for example. Follow the installation instructions below.

To create/update your resume, you'll just need to edit the data/resume.yml file. All keys with a desc: | header can be Markdown formated.

You can preview your changes via http://resume.dev/ if using Pow or http://localhost:4567/ otherwise.

bundle exec middleman build

Build the static version of your resume, it'll also create the PDF version.

bundle exec middleman deploy

Upload it to a github page. Your resume will be available at http://yourusername.github.com/resume.

Installation

If you forked to your own repo:

git clone https://github.com/<yourusername>/resume.git
cd resume

Otherwise:

git clone https://github.com/reefab/ResumeMan.git
cd ResumeMan

Install all dependencies:

sudo gem install bundler
bundle install --path vendor/bundle

On Linux, don't forget to install the dev packages beforehand (Ubuntu 12.04 example):

sudo apt-get install build-essential ruby1.9.1-dev

If using Pow, this will setup a previewing server that will be available at http://resume.dev/

ln -s `pwd`/. ~/.pow/resume

Otherwise, you'll have to launch the previewing server manually:

bundle exec middleman
