Minimal resume

This is intended to be a dead simple, data-isolated and multilingual resume.

Roadmap

• Data isolated
• Multilingual
• Show/hide personal photo
• Contact data with icons
• Printing (via dialog)
• Markdown inside YAML files
• PR for colleague references

How to customize your own

1. Fork this repository

https://github.com/soutoner/minimal#fork-destination-box

2. Customize _config.yml. It contains language-independent data and configuration setting about the resume. Don't forget to change:

   • Your full_name. This will be independent of the language.
   • languages if you want to restrict any language. If you want to add a new language please head Adding a new language.
   • profile_photo if you want to show a photo of you or not.
   • profile_picture_path if you want to change the path of the picture or the file name. If you do not want to change this parameter, please upload a profile.jpeg to the img/ directory with a size of 200x200.
   • contact if you want to add links to your contact sites. Available:
     • Personal website.
     • email.
     • LinkedIn.
     • GitHub.
     • Stack Overflow.

3. Fill in your en.yml (or any other language) under _data/. This file is divided in translations and the actual data of the resume.

Please remain the keys untouched so everything work as predefined.

Further customization

Although it is a very simple structure it permits some more flexibility that may not be so evident:

• Under _includes/ you will have the different sections of the resume. Feel free to create new sections. Remember that once created, you should include them in the index.md.
• You can include different sections depending on the language, you only have to play with the include statements in the index.md, index_es.md and so on.

Adding a new language

By default, the index.md page is set to English.

The key point is the lang option of the Front Matter inside the pages of the root directory (i.e. index.md). This will define the language for all the included data in your resume, so from this moment on, Jekyll will now which data to include in your resume. You will only have to elaborate the data in your preferred language.

# index.md

---
layout: default
lang: en
---

If you want to add a new language to the resume you only have to follow this steps:

1. Choose your language (e.g. Spanish) and set a short code for it es. This is important as the code itself is not relevant but you must be consistent all over the project in order to successfully localize your resume.

2. Add your new language short code to the languages array inside _config.yml.

# _config.yml  
languages: [en, es]

3. Copy an already created translation file under _data, and while maintaining the keywords, translate everything. This file holds translations that does not belong to any section in particular.

$ cp _data/en.yml _data/es.yml
$ # Translate but maintain the keywords intact!!

4. Duplicate index.md. You can choose whatever name you want for this file but you follow this guideline:
   • Keep it in the root of the project.
   • Set the lang variable in the Front Matter to your selected short code (in this example es).
   • Set the permalink variable also to your short code. This will grant that your translation will be available under the (in this example) /es path despite of the file name.

# index_es.md
---
layout: default
lang: es
permalink: es
---
