cv

My Curriculum Vitae made with LaTeX and using moderncv.

Installation

First, clone the repository.

$ git clone https://github.com/brtrndb/cv.git

Dependencies

Required

In order to build from source, make sure to have the following dependencies installed.

• The appropriate LaTeX distribution for your platform.
• The moderncv package to make this document look modern.
• The LaTeX compiler lualatex. Feel free to use different one, but you may encounter some errors.

On Ubuntu, you can install required dependencies with this command:

$ sudo apt install \\
  texlive-luatex \\
  texlive-font-utils \\
  texlive-fonts-extra \\
  texlive-latex-extra \\
  texlive-lang-french

Optional

To avoid typing long command lines for building, you can install:

• Make.

  $ sudo apt install make

• Or JetBrains IntelliJ.

  $ sudo snap install intellij-idea-community --classic --edge

The files structure is quite simple:

• BertrandBoyer.pdf is the latest release of the document.
• BertrandBoyer.tex is the main file. It defines main configuration and document structure, and links to other .tex files.
• img/ directory contains images per section. There are two files per image .xcf to edit with Gimp, and its export as .png.
• tex/ directory contains other .tex files. They separate content into smaller modules to ease readability.

Build

Using command line

The old-fashioned way to build document is to use lualatex.

$ lualatex --output-format=pdf BertrandBoyer.tex

You can use option --interaction=batchmode to hide unnecessary logs output.

Using Makefile

You can build PDF using make.

Main targets are:

• clean: Clean up repository by deleting all temporary files.
• fclean: Clean up repository and delete the document.
• re: Clean up, delete and then rebuild the document.

Using IntelliJ

An IntelliJ run configuration is present under .run/. You can easily rebuild the document from one click within your IDE.

Here are some tips that helps for LaTeX:

• Using TeXiFy IDEA plugin.
• File nesting association in project view.
  • .tex with .aux, .log, .out, .pdf, .synctex.gz to hide output files.
  • .xcf with .jpeg, .jpg, .png, .svg, to hide Gimp exports.
