This project will automatically let you keep updating your resume without having to download a new PDF everytime. The regenerated PDF will then be saved in whatever output directory you desire.

How to use

First export your DOWNLOADS_DIR.

For example:

export DOWNLOADS_DIR="/Users/alfardilalam/Downloads"

Then you can run latexmk -pdf resume.tex to autogenerate your pdf in your desired output directory. Your PDF will also autogenerate on save.

latexmk -C will clean any junk files.

PREREQUISITES

For Mac users:

You must have MacTeX installed and the LaTeX Workshop extension by James Yu enabled in VS Code.

Warning: MacTex is a large file.

Here are some settings.json that may be helpful:

  "latex-workshop.formatting.latexindent.path": "/opt/homebrew/bin/latexindent",
  "latex-workshop.formatting.latex": "latexindent",
  "[latex]": {
    "editor.defaultFormatter": "James-Yu.latex-workshop"
  }

Feel free to use my resume as a template!
