A LaTeX document for my cover letters.
If you'd like to edit the cover letter in Overleaf, a zero setup online LaTeX editor with preview and real-time collaboration, then complete the following steps:
- Fork the repository
- If you don't have an Overleaf account, then sign up for one
- Log into Overleaf
- If your Overleaf account is not linked to your GitHub account, then go to the account settings page, click on the "Link to your GitHub account" button, and follow the instructions to link your accounts
- Go to your Overleaf projects page
- Click on the "New Project" button
- Click on "Import from GitHub"
- Click on the "Import to Overleaf" button adjacent to your fork of this repository
- Wait for the repository to finish importing and for the LaTeX document to open. You will see compiler errors because the default compiler cannot compile this repository
- Click on the "Menu" bottom at the top-left corner of the page and wait for a sidebar to open
- In the "Settings" section of the newly opened sidebar, change the "Compiler" option to "XeLaTeX"
- Click outside the sidebar to dismiss it, and click "Recompile" to see a preview of the cover letter!
If you'd like to edit the cover letter locally, then complete the following steps:
-
Clone the repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/TomerAberbach/resume.git
-
Install XeLaTeX and run the appropriate command for your operating system to compile to PDF
To edit the cover letter content without affecting the cover letter's layout, edit commands arguments in information.tex.
To modify the cover letter layout, modify main.tex.
If you want to make more substantial changes, then search in Overleaf's tutorials. If you can't figure something out and need some help, then feel free to file an issue.
