What it does

• a minimal but stylish text version
• a good looking Latex version which you can compile to pdf

The text, HTML and pdf version look something like this:

How to install and use

For now you can install a development version, meaning you need to install Go. After installing and setting your $GOPATH and (if you want to your bin) for instance with

export GOPATH=$HOME/code/go
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/code/go/bin

you can get govitae with

go get github.com/cdiener/govitae
go install github.com/cdiener/govitae

Use the resume.{yaml,json} or minimal.{yaml,json} as a starting point to build your own and render with

govitae resume.yaml

In order to compile the Latex version you will need the moderncv package. It comes with most "extra" packages for the Latex environment. This will allow you to generate the PDF with

pdflatex resume.tex
