Introduction

Welcome to the Data-Driven CV project! This repository aims to automate the creation of an eye-catching CV using R and R Markdown, with the help of the vitae package for R. The project leverages the power of LaTeX to produce professional-looking PDF output. Additionally, it utilizes GitHub Actions and Docker to simplify the CV generation process.

How to Use

To generate your data-driven CV using GitHub Actions and Docker, follow these steps:

1. Fork this repository to your GitHub account.

2. Clone the forked repository to your local machine.

git clone https://github.com/your-username/data-driven-cv.git
cd data-driven-cv

3. Update the data/data-generic.r file with your CV information. The data/data-generic.r file will be used as the data source for creating your CV.

4. Customize the data-driven-generic.Rmd file according to your preferences and design choices. This file is where you can modify the content and layout of your CV.

5. Commit and push the changes to your GitHub repository.

6. GitHub Actions will automatically trigger when you push changes to the main branch. The defined workflow will run the Docker container, which generates the PDF CV using the R script and R Markdown. The resulting PDF will be saved in the resumes folder.

7. Once the GitHub Actions workflow completes successfully, navigate to the "Actions" tab in your repository on GitHub. There, you can find the workflow run and download the generated PDF CV from the artifacts section.
