## Templates and tools for making a Résumé/CV

The *vitae* package makes creating and maintaining a Résumé or CV with R

Markdown simple. It provides a collection of LaTeX and HTML templates,

with helpful functions to add content to the documents.

## Installation

You can install the **release** version from CRAN.

``` r

install.packages('vitae')

```

You can install the **development** version from

[GitHub](https://github.com/mitchelloharawild/vitae).

``` r

# install.packages("remotes")

remotes::install_github("mitchelloharawild/vitae")

```

This package requires LaTeX to be installed on your computer. If you’re

encountering issues, please check that LaTeX is installed. The [tinytex

package](https://github.com/rstudio/tinytex) makes it easy to setup

LaTeX within R:

``` r

install.packages('tinytex')

tinytex::install_tinytex()

```

## Getting started

The *vitae* package currently supports 6 popular CV templates. You can

see some previews of the available templates [below](#templates).

Creating a new CV with `vitae` can be done using the RStudio R Markdown

template selector:

![](man/figures/template_gui.png)

These templates leverage the strength of rmarkdown to include common

information in the YAML header (name, position, social links…) and

extended information in the main body. The main body of the CV is

written using markdown, and allows for data-driven generation of entries

using the [`*_entries`

functions](https://pkg.mitchelloharawild.com/vitae/reference/cv_entries.html).

This allows you to import your working history from other sources (such

as ORCID, Google Scholar, or a maintained dataset), and include them

programmatically into your CV.

## Templates

There are currently 6 templates available in this package:

Extending the package to add new templates is a somewhat simple process

(details in the [creating vitae

templates](https://pkg.mitchelloharawild.com/vitae/articles/extending.html)

vignette).

## Examples of using vitae

- [Mitchell O’Hara-Wild](https://github.com/mitchelloharawild/CV)

- [Nat Price](https://github.com/natbprice/cv)

- [Sam Abbott](https://github.com/seabbs/cv) (automatic deployment!)

- [JooYoung Seo](https://github.com/jooyoungseo/jy_CV) (printing

  multiple bibliographic entries according to a given csl file)

- [Diogo M. Camacho](https://github.com/diogocamacho/CV)

- [Han Zhang](https://github.com/HanZhang-psych/CV) (custom csl files)

- [Bryan Jenks](https://github.com/tallguyjenks/CV)

- [Lorena Abad](https://github.com/loreabad6/R-CV)

- [Lampros Sp. Mouselimis](https://github.com/mlampros/My.CVitae) (using

  Github Actions and a docker image to programmatically generate the CV

  file)

- [Adam Kirosingh](https://github.com/akirosingh/CV)

- [Marco Lombardi](https://github.com/mlombardi6/awesome-template)

- [Anthony Romero](https://github.com/ganthonyr/CV)

- [André Calero Valdez](https://github.com/sumidu/acv) This version uses

  a database to manage the content and automatically updates the content

  once a week using Github actions. PDF is then added as a release after

  rendering. Also uses a forked version of the package to remove the

  trailing dot in brief entries.
