A robust, automated solution for creating and maintaining a professional resume using LaTeX, Docker, and GitHub Actions. This project provides a streamlined workflow for generating a high-quality PDF from a .tex source, ensuring consistency and simplifying version control.

The following sequence-diagram illustrates the automated build process:

The repository is organized as follows:

resume-builder/
├── .github/
│   └── workflows/
│       └── compile.yml   # GitHub Actions workflow for automated builds
├── data/
│   └── resume.tex        # The main LaTeX source file for the resume
├── docs/
│   └── resume.pdf        # The generated PDF output
├── Dockerfile            # Defines the containerized build environment
├── action.yml            # Defines the custom GitHub Action
└── README.md             # This file

1. Edit data/resume.tex with your information.
2. Commit and push your changes to the main branch.
3. GitHub Actions will automatically:
   • Compile the LaTeX source file.
   • Commit the updated resume.pdf to the docs/ directory.

• Docker for the containerized build.
• A local LaTeX distribution (e.g., TeX Live, MiKTeX) for manual compilation.

This method uses the containerized environment for a consistent build.

# Build the Docker image
docker build -t resume-builder .

# Run the container, mounting the current directory
# The generated PDF will be in the `docs/` folder
docker run --rm -v "$(pwd):/github/workspace" resume-builder

If you have a local LaTeX installation, you can compile the resume directly.

# Compile the .tex file and place the output in the docs/ directory
pdflatex -output-directory=docs data/resume.tex
