Resume

Welcome to the public version of my resume repository! This repository is a stripped-down, privacy-conscious version of my resume, where sensitive information such as phone numbers and email addresses has been removed. It's designed for sharing with a broader audience without disclosing personal contact details.

Accessing the Resume

Important

The resume.md file in this public repository is provided as a template and is not regularly updated. If you are interested in the most recent version of my resume, please refer to the latest releases, where the public resume is available in both PDF and DOCX formats for easy accessibility. The releases contain up-to-date information and are intended for accurate representation.

How it Differs from the Private Repository

The public repository serves as a more accessible version of my resume. It omits personal contact information to respect privacy concerns. If you need to contact me or access the complete resume, please contact me on LinkedIn.

Usage

For those interested in implementing a similar workflow—maintaining both a private resume with complete information and a public resume with sensitive details removed—follow these steps:

Local development

1. Fork this repository and clone it to your local machine.

2. Install the necessary dependencies (on Ubuntu):

apt-get update
apt-get install -y git make wget texlive-xetex

Install Pandoc using the latest version available at jgm/pandoc. Replace the version number in the commands below:

wget https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases/download/3.1.11.1/pandoc-3.1.11.1-1-amd64.deb
dpkg -i pandoc-3.1.11.1-1-amd64.deb
rm pandoc-3.1.11.1-1-amd64.deb # remove the downloaded file

Make sure to replace the version number in the above commands with the latest version of pandoc.

3. Edit the resume.md file to your liking. To hide information in the public release, enclose that part of the text in HTML span tags with a class name of privatize:

# Nikhil Ravi

New York, NY | <span class="privatize">1 (800) 800 8009 |</span> LinkedIn | GitHub

4. Run t:

make all BRANCH_NAME=$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD) PRIVATIZE=true

• The BRANCH_NAME variable is used to name the output files.
• The PRIVATIZE variable, when set to true, removes the information enclosed in the span tags with the privatize class name, generating the public version of the resume.

5. This will create the PDF and DOCX files in the output directory.
6. Once done editing, create two repositories, one private and the other public.
7. Enable GitHub Actions in the private repository and provide Read and Write permissions to GitHub workflows under Repository Settings > Actions > General > Workflow permissions.
8. Create a Fine-grained Personal Access Token under Settings > Developer Settings > Personal access tokens > Fine-grained tokens with access to both repositories. Enable Read and Write permissions for Actions and Contents.
9. Add this token as a repository secret for the private repository under Secrets and variables > Actions > Repository Secrets with the name RELEASE_REPO_SECRET.
10. Add the URL of the public repository as an environment variable under Secrets and variables > Actions > Repository Variables with the name PUBLIC_REPO_URL.
11. Commit and push your changes to the private repository. This will start the workflow in .github/workflows/build-resume.yml, and release the private and public resumes on their respective repositories.

Auto compile on save with VS Code

Auto-compile resume.md to pdf and docx formats on save using the Run on Save extension in VS Code. To use this feature, simply install the extension in VS Code. Then, enable the extension via the VS Code command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P) using the following command:

Run on Save: Enable

Then, the .vscode/settings.json file will be automatically loaded and the resume.md file will be compiled to pdf and docx formats on save.

Docker Image

Important

You don't need to do this! You can just use the same docker container.

It was taking too long to setup texlive-xetex and pandoc in the GitHub Actions environment, so I created a Docker image with all the dependencies installed. It is available at Docker Hub.

To update the image, edit the Dockerfile and run the following command to build the image:

docker compose build resume

Then push the image to Docker Hub:

docker compose push resume

I used dunkbing's resume as a starting point for this project after seeing it on Dev.to.
