Personal CV Site with automatic Latex pdf compilation.

This is my personal site build using Jekyll. It makes heavy use of the _Collections_ feature of Jekyll to organize the various components of a standard resume in a reusable way. The jekyll-pdf-generator plugin renders and compiles a .tex template of the CV portion of the site and compiles it using pdflatex to output a pdf file that the final site can link to.

The goal is to write content once, and have both an html and a cleanly formatted LaTex pdf version of my resume. Whenever new content needs to be added such as a job, project, eduction, or paper, it can simply be added as a new markdown file and it will be automatically compiled into the static html site as well as the pdf.

Different versions of a CV can be generated by picking content based on custom variables such as 'category => 'teaching''.

Developing

Since github only builds Jekyll sites in 'safe' mode, the site has to be build locally to generate the pdf. Ensure that pdflatex is installed, as the site requires compilation of LaTex files.

Setting up the environemnt

1. Install jekyll by running bundle install
2. Install LaTex. (MacTex if you're on mac OS)

Making Content Changes

1. Checkout the branch working-source then checkout a feature branch off of it.

2. Make content changes.

   1. To add a new piece of content to a category (for example, a paper), create a new .md file in the folder _{category}, following the format of a data file.
   2. Edit existing content or html template files.

3. Open PR proposing merge into working-source branch, not into master.

4. Once your changes are merged into the working-source branch run rake, which will run Jekyll to make the site, then merge the contents of /site into master.
